The order of the certificates is subject first then issuer.
The key can appear anywhere, but for compatibility with
upcoming features in Postfix 3.4, put it first.

    1. private key
    2. corresponding end-entity certificate
    3. issuer of 2 if any
    4. issuer of 3 if any
    ...
    N. root-CA issued certificate (required for regular PKI)
    N+1. optional root-CA if published as DANE trust-anchor
