557f467bab [crypto] Allow certificate chains to be long-lived data structures
At present, certificate chain validation is treated as an
instantaneous process that can be carried out using only data that is
already in memory.  This model does not allow for validation to
include non-instantaneous steps, such as downloading a cross-signing
certificate, or determining certificate revocation status via OCSP.

Redesign the internal representation of certificate chains to allow
chains to outlive the scope of the original source of certificates
(such as a TLS Certificate record).

Allow for certificates to be cached, so that each certificate needs to
be validated only once.
