Load Identities from PEM Text

Demonstrates Pfx.LoadPem, which loads one or more certificate/private-key identities from PEM-formatted text and builds the contents of the Pfx object.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

Background. The password decrypts any encrypted private keys in the PEM. This builds a PFX in memory from PEM material, which can then be serialized to PKCS#12.
