crypto/x509: error for "trailing data after X.509 subject" should say "issuer" instead #35841

Description

@egonk

See the following error in parseCertificate:

return nil, errors.New("x509: trailing data after X.509 subject")

It should probably say issuer, not subject.

Edit:

	var issuer, subject pkix.RDNSequence
	if rest, err := asn1.Unmarshal(in.TBSCertificate.Subject.FullBytes, &subject); err != nil {
		return nil, err
	} else if len(rest) != 0 {
		return nil, errors.New("x509: trailing data after X.509 subject")
	}
	if rest, err := asn1.Unmarshal(in.TBSCertificate.Issuer.FullBytes, &issuer); err != nil {
		return nil, err
	} else if len(rest) != 0 {
		return nil, errors.New("x509: trailing data after X.509 subject")
	}
