Description of changes:
Improves validation of certificates by also applying additional checks for certificates retrieved from the trust store. This aligns AWS-LC with OpenSSL 1.1.1 and later behavior.
Testing:
Add a root certificate that does not have the expected basicConstraints extension with the cA bit set to true. This certificate would be rejected by OpenSSL, but is currently allowed to be trusted by AWS-LC due to it being in the trust store.
