readable CertFriendlyName names (remove \u0000)

[ju916]

Subject: parse-microsoft-authroot.pl

I am looking at the out put of fetch-microsoft-authroot.sh in authroot.json.
The CertFriendlyName looks like that:

"CertFriendlyName" : "C\u0000e\u0000r\u0000t\u0000p\u0000l\u0000u\u0000s\u0000 \u0000R\u0000o\u0000o\u0000t\u0000 \u0000C\u0000A\u0000 \u0000G\u00002\u0000\u0000"

Doing

grep CertFriendlyName authroot.json | sed 's/\\u0000//g'

produces something really "friendly" like:

"CertFriendlyName" : "Certplus Root CA G2"

I am sure that it's easy to get that into the perl script parse-microsoft-authroot.pl. Changing

-$CertFriendlyName =~ s/\x00$//g;
+$CertFriendlyName =~ s/\x00//g;

does the job for me. But it might break other things.

This does look like UTF16, wonder if that is the string type or if the subject really is borken.
