Cert expiry on 119-12

Currently the zERT summary SMF record (type 119 subtype 12) lacks some of the certificate details that are present in the detail record (type 119 subtype 11). I propose that all details collected by the detail record be propagated into the summary record - particularly the certificate serial number and expiry (or "not after") date. I concede that within a "session interval", more than one client or server certificate might be detected, so I'm happy if the details reported pertain to the first connection or the most recent connection seen (i.e. the captured data is overwritten by each new connection). I don't think much value is derived from trying to detect the certificate with the earliest "not after" date, for those (rare) circumstances where multiple certificates are detected in a single session interval.
