Redesigned the extension trait interface to support more flexible ownership patterns and use cases. The trait is renamed from AsExtension to ToExtension and now consumes values by default, with implementations for references and tuples like (OID, bool, &T) to allow direct control over criticality and OID. This makes the API more ergonomic for common scenarios while enabling advanced use cases that weren't previously possible.

BREAKING CHANGE: The AsExtension trait has been renamed to ToExtension, and to_extension now takes self by value. Users must update trait bounds from AsExtension to ToExtension and may need to adjust how extensions are passed to add_extension methods.

@tarcieri This resolves your complaint about the interface being named AsExtension.

I don't think my code is the cause of the test breakage. It looks like cargo-hack installation is failing.

Tests all pass after the transient test breakage has resolved.

- Rename `x509_cert::builder::Profile` to `BuilderProfile` ([RustCrypto#1514] && [RustCrypto#1517])
- `Name` is now a new type over `RdnSequence` ([RustCrypto#1499])

Removed

- Std requirement for `x509_cert::builder` ([RustCrypto#1709])
- `RelativeDistinguishedName::encode_from_string` ([RustCrypto#1509])
