Allow retrieving a trust anchor from extraCerts and using that
to validate the certificate chain of an IP message.
This is a quirk option added to support 3GPP TS 33.310.

Note that using this option is dangerous as the certificate obtained
this way has not been authenticated (at least not at CMP level).
Taking it over as a trust anchor implements trust-on-first-use (TOFU).

any self-issued certificate from the I<msg> extraCerts field may be used
as a trust anchor for the path verification of an 'acceptable' cert if it can be
used also to validate the issued certificate returned in the IP message. This is
according to TS 33.310 [Network Domain Security (NDS); Authentication Framework
(AF)] document specified by the The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
Note that using this option is dangerous as the certificate obtained this way
has not been authenticated (at least not at CMP level).
Taking it over as a trust anchor implements trust-on-first-use (TOFU).

Any cert that has been found as described above is cached and tried first when
validating the signatures of subsequent messages in the same transaction.
