Roland Shoemaker af9c5e5dbc crypto/x509: prioritize potential parents in chain building
When building a x509 chain the algorithm currently looks for parents
that have a subject key identifier (SKID) that matches the child
authority key identifier (AKID), if it is present, and returns all
matches. If the child doesn't have an AKID, or there are no parents
with matching SKID it will instead return all parents that have a
subject DN matching the child's issuer DN. Prioritizing AKID/SKID
matches over issuer/subject matches means that later in buildChains we
have to throw away any pairs where these DNs do not match. This also
prevents validation when a child has a SKID with two possible parents,
one with matching AKID but mismatching subject DN, and one with a
matching subject but missing AKID. In this case the former will be
chosen and the latter ignored, meaning a valid chain cannot be built.

This change alters how possible parents are chosen. Instead of doing a
two step search it instead only consults the CertPool.byName subject DN
map, avoiding issues where possible parents may be shadowed by parents
that have SKID but bad subject DNs. Additionally it orders the list of
possible parents by the likelihood that they are in fact a match. This
ordering follows this pattern:
* AKID and SKID match
* AKID present, SKID missing / AKID missing, SKID present
* AKID and SKID don't match

In an ideal world this should save a handful of cycles when there are
multiple possible matching parents by prioritizing parents that have
the highest likelihood. This does diverge from past behavior in that
it also means there are cases where _more_ parents will be considered
than in the past. Another version of this change could just retain the
past behavior, and only consider parents where both the subject and
issuer DNs match, and if both parent and child have SKID and AKID also
compare those, without any prioritization of the candidate parents.

This change removes an existing test case as it assumes that the
CertPool will return a possible candidate where the issuer/subject DNs
do not match.

Fixes #30079
