(Xojo Plugin) Set .pfx/.p12 Safe Bag Attributes

Demonstrates how to set safebag attributes in a .pfx/.p12. This example creates a .pfx from a .pem containing a private key and certificates, but also sets PFX safebag attributes before writing the .pfx.

// We have a PEM containing one private key, and two certificates:
// The private key is an ECDSA private key.
// The private key is associated with the 1st certificate.
// The 2nd certificate is the issuer of the 1st certificate.
