Closes #875

Description of changes

  • add a focused OpenSSL tutorial for inspecting Trustpoint-issued certificates
  • show how to extract only the public certificate from a downloaded PKCS#12 credential
  • explain Subject, Issuer, validity, public-key algorithm, and signature algorithm
  • distinguish content inspection from trust-chain and revocation verification
  • add the tutorial to the Getting Started navigation and link it from the credential-download flow

Validation

  • generated a temporary certificate and PKCS#12 bundle, then executed both documented OpenSSL commands
  • verified the extracted certificate fingerprint matches the original
  • rendered the new page and confirmed its navigation and cross-references in generated HTML
  • compared strict Sphinx builds of main and this branch: both report the same 41 pre-existing warnings/errors, with no warning from the changed files
  • git diff --check
