Summary0006610: Move "make pem" to its own "./unrealircd" subcommand
DescriptionCurrently if we want to generate a new certificate/key, we nee to run the "make pem" command.

While I expected the "make install" command to replace the older certificate/key, it doesn't, which is by design to avoid some rare issues, like replacing certs on test instances, debugging, etc.

After discussing it on IRC, it was decided that it should be better to move it to its own "./unrealircd" subcommand and get rid of the "make pem", while being able to generate them from "./Config" on initial setup.

The command can probably be called "./unrealircd makecert" and throw a warning to the user, like: "This command will replace your existing server certificate and key. Do you wish to proceed? [Y|N]"
