[django-x509] Add a javascript switcher which hides/shows different fields depending if the user is importing a certificate/CA or creating a new one

OpenWISP

Django-x509 mplements features of a Public Key Infrastructure as a django reusable app, it is one of the OpenWISP 2 base modules.

We need to improve the UX in the Ca and Cert admin, so that the difference between creating and importing CAs and Certs is clear without needing further explaination.

A CharField named operation_type (suggestions for better names are welcome) at the ModelForm level should be added, this field should use a select widget having 2 options:

(empty string, default)
new
import

Case 1: empty

With the default option, all the fields except the name should be hidden.

Case 2: new

When "new" is selected, all the hidden fields except certificate and private_key will be shown.

When you are ready, send a pull request on github and fix an issue highlighted by your mentors during the review.
