New API: Standard naming of manufacturers

[adamjanovsky]

The old API had a function that (among many other things) attempted to introduce some standard naming of certificate manufacturers. In exact, the function:

• Defines separators, like , and /
• Splits the manufacturer name into tokens with separators
• If any of the tokens is on itself a valid manufacturer of some existing certificate, such token is considered a separate manufacturer
• Then, similarity search is run on the tokenized lists of manufacturers and edges are drawn into a dotgraph between nodes that could represent the same manufacturer

As an example, one can imagine two distinct manufacturers hidden in the following field

Oberthur Technologies / NXP Semiconductors GmbH 

I did not find any real use for such functionality, leaving it for further implementation if we ever encounter a use-case for that. In case when we'll be implementing this:

• pandas could be leveraged for data processing
• graphviz python package should be used to create the graphs
• such function naturally fits into the analysis section of the tool
