changeset 31172:e89df17f5ae7

certificate: Better validation of chains which have an intermediate signed w/ MD5. We already distribute the CAcert class 3 root as a trusted root. Newer versions of GnuTLS (combined with the changes to deal with MSN's cert breakage) require us to check if the last cert (not just its issuer) is in our trusted store.
