Add support for XML and CERT data types in configure pages

I am looking at some improvements to the configuration of the SamlLoginContrib. It currently requires you to put the certs and the metadata.xml on the server in a location to be read in as a file. I would like to allow adding those items to the LocalSite.cfg.

I propose adding:

Types.CERT
Types.XML

to ConfigurePlugin /pub/System/ConfigurePlugin/types.uncompressed.js

The only field present currently that is big enough is Types.PERL which tries to evaluate as valid perl.

I did a PoC just making the validation pass with:

av = eval(1);  // FIXME: TIM
bv = eval(1);  // FIXME: TIM

and the resulting fields will work for me.

I don't mind doing the work to validate that the xml is valid uncommented xml and that the cert is a valid certificate but I want to check whether this would be considered for inclusion first. There are a least a few plugins/contribs that would be improved by a larger field for certificates (LDAP and SMTP)

Was't really paying attention, the firl I mentioned is Java Script so validating a certificate format would require either something like PKI.js or simply checking for the correct beginning and ending of a base64 encoded cert. I imagine xml check might be possible in Javascript but I have not looked

The attached types.uncompressed.js.diff does what I would like. I am not a Javascript programmer nor do I play one on TV so feel free to improve.

Awesome. How about you apply for git access and you'll check it in yourself
