Add Java KeyStore and client authentication

* Add instructions on how a Java KeyStore can be generated from the keys
  and certificates provided in this example. This is useful for
  situations where you have a Node.js client talking to a Java server.
* Added intructions on how client authentication could be added to the
  client side.

about self-signed certs, you can just create an authority and then
add the authority to your chain (viola, now it's trusted).
Client Authentication
====
In the example above, the server trusts the client without the need for the client to be authenticated.
So, a common enhancement to the example above would be to add client authentication.
To add client authentication, it's necessary to generate a client key and have it signed by the CA defined above.
Execute `make-client-key-certificate.sh` to generate key and certificate.
To use generated key and certificate, `key`, `cert` and `passphrase` TLS options need to be added, e.g.:
```
var ca = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'certs', 'client', 'chain.pem'));
var key = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'certs', 'client-auth', 'privkey.pem'));
var passphrase = 'secret';
var cert = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'certs', 'client-auth', 'cert.pem'));
var options = {
host: hostname
, port: port
, path: '/'
, ca: ca
, key: key
, passphrase: passphrase
, cert: cert
};
```
Generating Java Key Stores
====
If the server component is written in Java, the server needs to be plugged with a Java KeyStore containing security certificates.
In the example above, the `fullchain.pem` file needs to be converted into a Java KeyStore file.
To create a Java KeyStore file, the JDK needs to be installed and have `keytool` utility in the path.
To do that, please follow these instructions:
$ mkdir certs/java/server
$ openssl pkcs12 \
-export \
-inkey certs/server/privkey.pem \
-in certs/server/fullchain.pem \
-name test \
-out certs/java/server/keystore_server.p12
$ keytool \
-importkeystore \
-srckeystore certs/java/server/keystore_server.p12 \
-srcstoretype pkcs12 \
-destkeystore certs/java/server/keystore_server.jks
Trust Store for Client Authentication
----
If using client authentication, it is necessary for the server to trust to the client.
To do that, it's necessary for a trust store to be created that contains the client's public key.
Such a trust store can be created using these steps:
$ rsync -a certs/ca/my-root-ca.crt.pem certs/client-auth/chain.pem
$ cat certs/client-auth/cert.pem certs/client-auth/chain.pem > certs/client-auth/fullchain.pem
$ openssl pkcs12
\-export
\-inkey certs/client-auth/privkey.pem
\-in certs/client-auth/fullchain.pem
\-name test
\-out certs/infinispan/trustore_server.p12
$ keytool
\-importkeystore
\-srckeystore certs/infinispan/trustore_server.p12
\-srcstoretype pkcs12
\-destkeystore certs/infinispan/trustore_server.jks
