Store plugins

Store plugins are responsible for storing issued certificates in their permanent location(s). The program will cache the certificate in a .pfx file in its cache but these files are protected by file system rights and random passwords to prevent local non-administrators from obtaining keys. Store plugins are responsible for making the certificates accessible to the application(s) that need them.
