We make three changes here:
1. Allow iterating over all given certificates to find the one that
signed this OCSP response, as RFC 6960 does not guarantee an order
and some CAs send multiple certificates, and
2. Allow the passed issuer to match the certificate that directly
signed this response, and
3. Lastly, we document the unsafe behavior of calling these functions
with issuer=nil, indicating that it performs no trust verification.
Previously, when a CA returned the intermediate CA that signed a leaf
cert as an additional cert in the response field (without using a
delegated OCSP certificate), Go would err with a bad signature, as it
expected the intermediate CA to have signed the wire copy (even though
it was the exact same certificate).
Also includes a code comment around the "bad signature on embedded
certificate" error message, indicating that this isn't strictly
the correct preposition choice.
