Warn user that search-sha1 option is dangerous #55

Description

@JeremyRand

We should warn the user that the search-sha1 command-line option is dangerous, due to SHA1 collision risk. In particular, if the user is issuing a command that increases the privileges of a certificate, and the creator of the certificate is malicious, the user might be inadvertently increasing the privileges of a completely different certificate too. The user should only use this option if one of the following is true:

  • The requested operation does not increase the privileges of the specified certificate.
  • The user fully trusts the creator of the specified certificate with whatever increased privileges are being requested.
