Add Marshal support to X509 objects

This allows for example to use Rails' cache to store these objects. Without this patch you'd get errors like "TypeError (no _dump_data is defined for class OpenSSL::X509::Certificate)"

Note that the X509::Revoked class doesn't need the newly introduced modules as the DER output of X509::CRL already includes these.
