[PATCH v6 3/6] KEYS: X.509: Parse Basic Constraints for CA

[Eric Snowberg]

Parse the X.509 Basic Constraints.  The basic constraints extension
identifies whether the subject of the certificate is a CA.

BasicConstraints ::= SEQUENCE {
        cA                      BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
        pathLenConstraint       INTEGER (0..MAX) OPTIONAL }

If the CA is true, store it in the public_key.  This will be used
in a follow on patch that requires knowing if the public key is a CA.
