Description of changes:
Fix a performance regression for customers with a very large number of certificates.
Testing:
Added a unit test.
Adding a benchmark test for this would currently be difficult, because our benchmark tests use Rust. The Rust bindings currently don't support multiple certificates of the same type (see the description of #3860), so can only load 3 cert chains. However, a customer who uses 10k certificates has tested this fix and verified that it fixes the performance regression. I also verified it locally with perf.
