Ilya Maximets 83de251fa5 ipsec: libreswan: Remove old certs before importing new ones.
If started with --no-restart-ike-daemon, ovs-monitor-ipsec doesn't
clear the NSS database.  This is not a problem if the certificates do
not change while the monitor is down, because completely duplicate
entries cannot be added to the NSS database.  However, if the monitor
is stopped, then certificates change on disk and then the monitor is
started back, it will add new tunnel certificates alongside the old
ones and will fail to add the new CA certificate.  So, we'll end up
with multiple certificates for the same tunnel and the outdated CA
certificate.  This will not allow creating new connections as we'll
not be able to verify certificates of the new CA:

  # certutil -L -d sql:/var/lib/ipsec/nss

  Certificate Nickname             Trust Attributes
                                   SSL,S/MIME,JAR/XPI

Fix that by always checking certificates in the NSS database before
importing the new one.  If they do not match, then remove the old
one from the NSS and add the new one.

We have to call deletion multiple times in order to remove all the
potential duplicates from previous runs.  This will be useful on
upgrade, but also may save us if one of the deletions ever fail for
any reason and we'll end up with a duplicate entry anyway.

One alternative might be to always clear the database, even if the
--no-restart-ike-daemon option is set, but there is a chance that
we'll refresh and ask to re-read secrets before we got all the tunnel
information from the database.  That may affect dataplane.  Even if
this is really not possible, the logic seems too far apart to rely on.
Also, Libreswan 4.6 seems to have some bug that prevents re-adding
deleted connections if we removed and re-add the same certificate
(newer versions don't have this issue), so it's better if we do not
touch certificates that didn't actually change if we're not restarting
the IKE daemon.

The clearing may seem redundant now, but it may still be useful to
clean up certificates for tunnels that disappeared while the monitor
was down.  Approach taken in this change doesn't cover this case.

Test is added to check the described scenario.  The 'on_exit' command
is converted to obtain the monitor PID at exit, since we're now killing
one monitor and starting another.
