xenserver: Remove cacert when user reconfigures the controller
If a user moves from one controller to another, we did not remove the cacert. This prevents the switch from connecting to the new controller. To ease confusion, we now delete the cacert when the user changes or removes the controller in xsconsole. Note: This commit has a minor security issue, since we do not remove trust for the old certificate until the switch is restarted. In general, users should only be connected to trusted servers, so the impact should be low. Fixes this would require larger changes to the vconn-ssl code, which we don't want to do so late in the release cycle. Bug #1457
