Description:
------------
Now that PHP supports ECDSA keys, its parsing function for certificates should also report on the public key type (RSA/ECDSA) and bit length/curve.

The test script below first prints the output of openssl_x509_parse, which does not contain this information, and then extracts the info out of the text output of openssl_x509_export() instead.

From manual page: https://php.net/function.openssl-x509-parse

Test script:
---------------
<?php
const CERT = "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

-----END CERTIFICATE-----";
const ALGORITHMS = [0 => "rsaEncryption", 1 => "id-ecPublicKey"];

// prints lots of certificate properties, but not key type nor length

print_r(openssl_x509_parse(CERT));

// needs to be parsed out of textual representation instead

$myca = openssl_x509_read(CERT);
$output = "";
$algoMatch = [];
$keyLengthMatch = [];

openssl_x509_export($myca, $output, FALSE);

if (preg_match('/^\s+Public Key Algorithm:\s*(.*)\s*$/m', $output, $algoMatch) && in_array($algoMatch[1], ALGORITHMS)) {
            echo "public_key_algorithm = $algoMatch[1]\n";
}
if ((preg_match('/^\s+Public-Key:\s*\((.*) bit\)\s*$/m', $output, $keyLengthMatch)) && is_numeric($keyLengthMatch[1])) {
            echo "public_key_length = $keyLengthMatch[1]\n";
}

Expected result:
----------------
The output array of openssl_x509_parse should contain two new keys for the properties of public key type and size.

Actual result:
--------------
The output array of openssl_x509_parse does not contain any keys related to the public key type and size.

Implementation happened here with a small discussion why this might not be the most ideal idea: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/16689

In short, the certificate is not an inherent part of the X509 structure, much richer information can already be obtained via openssl_pkey_get_public($cert).
