x509 -req doesn't copy 'requested' extensions from the CSR 
to the cert. Options:

- don't put SAN in the req, use x509 -req -extensions [-extfile] 
to add it to the cert.

- don't bother with x509, use req -new -x509 -extensions [-config]
to create the selfsigned cert directly with (Subject &) SAN

- don't use selfsigned, put SAN in the req, use ca with 
copy_extensions=copy in its config file
