setting unique_subject = no allows for key rollovers:
if the value yes is given, the valid certificate entries in the database must
have unique subjects. if the value no is given, several valid certificate
entries may have the exact same subject. The default value is yes, to be
compatible with older (pre 0.9.8) versions of OpenSSL. However, to make CA
certificate roll-over easier, it's recommended to use the value no,
especially if combined with the -selfsign command line option.
