Description
we had a few customers asked for client certificate revocation support.
there are a few options for us to support it:
1. Make use of the Erlang's builtin crl check and cache functionality
https://www.erlang.org/doc/man/ssl.html#type-crl_check
https://www.erlang.org/doc/man/ssl.html#type-crl_cache_opts
2. Like 1, but implement the cache callbacks by ourselves.
3. Provide custom verify callback in SSL options, and implement ourown check and cache
https://www.erlang.org/doc/man/ssl.html#type-custom_verify
return `{revoked, _} `, in case the cert is revoked.
No matter how it is implemented, we should have a configuration and an HTTP API to interface the users.
* Bootstrap the cache from a file (path of which is configurable)
* Persist the list in database
* Add CLI/HTTP APIs to add to / delete from the revocation list (and cache)

Research direction
Start with the linked Erlang ssl documentation for crl_check, crl_cache_opts, and custom_verify, then inspect the repository for existing configuration, database, CLI, and HTTP API entry points. Done means selecting and implementing a revocation approach that supports configurable file bootstrap, database persistence, and APIs for adding and deleting revoked certificates.
