[Swan-dev] time to delete old dist_certs shell script (attempt #2)?

This doesn't seem like a reason for retaining the old shell scripts -
they are so far behind that they don't even generate all the required
keys.  BTW, best place to run dist_certs.py is on one of the test VMs
(see "make kvm-keys"), and not on a host.  Provided the VM is
relatively recent all the necessary dependencies will have been
installed for you.

PS: Just beware of this weird problem:

# Strangely, dist_certs.py can't create a directory called "certs/" on
# a 9p mounted file system (OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
# 'certs/').  Get around it by first creating the certs in /tmp and
# then copying them over.
