ndnsec cert-gen: subject-name is missing
100%
Description
**When I try to generate a certificate by signing a signing request using the ndnsec command line tools, I get the following error: ERROR: subject name must be specified.
Steps to reproduce:
$ ndnsec key-gen /another_identity
[...]
$ ndnsec key-gen /identity
[...]
$ ndnsec sign-req /identity > identity.signreq
$ ndnsec cert-gen -s /another_identity -i ai identity.signreq
ERROR: subject name must be specified
General Usage
[...]
Apparently, this error is caused by the check in tools/ndnsec/cert-gen.cpp which checks for a subject-info option. However, no such option is defined in the available options of the cert-gen command and neither is it used later on.

The subject-name option is deleted in ndn-cxx:commit:35109a19d048365fda0a5efdb7c1525404a212a5, but the check was forgotten.
I believe it's being replaced by -I option, but what's the equivalent syntax? What token do I put in front of the value?

In addition to incorrect error, cert-gen doesn't properly encode additional information: the code processes it, but doesn't actually adds to the certificate.
