Parses the string representation of a distinguished name. Two different forms are supported:

OpenSSL format (X509_NAME_oneline()) used by to_s. For example: /DC=com/DC=example/CN=nobody
OpenSSL format (X509_NAME_print()) used by #to_s(OpenSSL::X509::Name::COMPAT). For example: DC=com, DC=example, CN=nobody

Neither of them is standardized and has quirks and inconsistencies in handling of escaped characters or multi-valued RDNs.

Use of this method is discouraged in new applications. See Name.parse_rfc2253 and to_utf8 for the alternative.
