The Zeek ja4x module was an empty stub ("awaiting Zeek object support").
Implement it by reconstructing JA4X from Zeek's x509 events:
- extension OIDs from x509_extension$oid, in certificate order
- issuer/subject RDN OIDs mapped from the DN string and reversed to DER
order (RFC2253 prints RDNs in reverse)
- each component hashed as sha256(",".join(DER-hex of each OID))[:12]
Emit the leaf-certificate JA4X into ssl.log alongside ja4/ja4s, and enable
JA4X_enabled by default. Validated to reproduce the tshark/wireshark native
ja4.ja4x on real certificates.

Reproduce / Evidence
Any pcap containing TLS ≤1.2 server certificates works (TLS 1.3 encrypts the
Certificate message, so JA4X is only available for ≤1.2).
tshark — native JA4X (reference)
zeek — this branch
Evidence — leaf-cert JA4X is identical
