CSR created by another program

Description
Use a certificate signing request generated by third party software. When this source plugin is chosen, you will obviously not be able to select a CSR plugin as well, meaning that any customization and key selection requirements should already be met.
You can provide the program with static file location that the CSR will be read from, or provide it with a script that will dynamically request or generate the CSR on demand.
Note that it’s possible - though not required - to provide the private key to the program as well. If you do not provide the private key, the certificate as stored by the store plugins won’t be usable for server authentication. In that case you need to use an installation script or manual steps to finish the creation of a fully usable certificate.
