Example: Typed GeneralName API (synta.general_name).

Demonstrates the typed ``GeneralName`` objects returned by
``Certificate.subject_alt_names()`` and ``Certificate.general_names(oid)``,
plus the low-level ``synta.parse_general_names()`` function and the integer
tag constants in ``synta.general_name``.

The sample certificate has four Subject Alternative Names:
  - dNSName       "example.com"
  - dNSName       "www.example.com"
  - iPAddress     192.168.1.1  (4 bytes)
