Need a common format for certificate serial number.

CA pages store certificate in Hex format while in ldap we store them as decimal format.

While sending requests for CMC revocation we use decimal format and in general revocation using CA agent pages we use Hex format.

We always have to convert hex serial number to decimal before sending revocation request.Do you think it's good to have one format?

All the cli's uses hex format.

Audit logs showsup in decimal format while debug logs has hex format.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.Try one CA agent revoke request.It needs a certificate serial in hex format.
2.CMC revoke needs decimal format.

Actual results:

manual efforts needed for conversion purpose.

Expected results:

following one format across system.

Per 10.5.x/10.6 Triage: 10.6

cfu: it's a good idea, but maybe something to do when there is time.
