* LoadFromFile will load virtually any certificate format file.
* It will auto-recognize the format and load appropiately.
* A base64-encoded DER X.509 certificate file
* contains the binary DER in base64 encoded form.
* Therefore, it is a text file that will begin like this:
* -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
* MIIFbjCCBFagAwIBAgIGdDPNv/L0MA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMIHKMQswCQYDVQQG
* EwJVUzEQMA4GA1UECBMHQXJpem9uYTETMBEGA1UEBxMKU2NvdHRzZGFsZTEaMBgG
