Create a script to handle client revocation

This script revoke the certificate corresponding to the commonName passed as first parameter, generate a new CRL, copies it to /etc/openvpn, make it readable by OpenVPN and optionally remove the crt, key and req file corresponding to the revoked certificate using "remove" as second parameter (removal of those files are required to generate a new client certificate using the revoked certificate's CN).
