Subject[PATCH] PKCS#7: issuer and subject are mandatory fields in the ASN.1
From
Date
issuer and subject are mandatory fields in the ASN.1 and so their existence
needn't be tested for. They are guaranteed to end up with an empty string if
the name material has nothing we can use (see x509_fabricate_name()).
