[issue63] gpgsm: pkcs#7 certs-only import is order dependent

New submission from Bernhard Herzog <[email protected]>:

When importing certificates from a pkcs#7 file containing multiple certificates
it depends on the order of the certificates whether all or only one of the
certificates are imported.  E.g. given three certificates.

   Root:  The certificate of the root CA
   CA:    certificate of a CA issued by Root
   User:  user certificate issued by CA

Assume gpgsm doesn't know any of these certificates yet.

Now, when the pkc2#7 contains the certificates in the order Root,CA,User, gpgsm
--import only imports the root CA.  When repeated, the CA certificate is
imported and on a third try the user certificate.

OTOH, if the order is the opposite, i.e. User,CA,Root, all three certs are
imported at once.
