DER format - community.crypto.x509_certificate_info

[msl0]

SUMMARY

Currently only PEM format is supported for community.crypto.x509_certificate_info module, so when we try get info about certificate in DER format then we getting:

"msg": "Unable to load PEM file. See https://cryptography.io/en/latest/faq/#why-can-t-i-import-my-pem-file for more details. MalformedFraming"

I noticed community.crypto.x509_certificate_info module uses cryptography. Current code uses load_pem_x509_certificate method but there is a load_der_x509_certificate method in cryptography to load DER certificates.
It would be better than using openssl x509 -in cert.crt -inform der -text -noout command to get certificate info.
