Description
It would be very helpful for code that uses both x509_parser for verification and rcgen for generation.
The reverse is likely difficult/impossible because X509Name is a borrowed type so I haven't bothered to ask.

Research direction
Locate the definitions of DistinguishedName and x509_parser::x509::X509Name, then inspect the conversion-related traits and APIs around them. The work is complete when conversions from X509Name to DistinguishedName support the verification-to-generation use case and the relevant tests pass.
