RFC2560 mandates that a valid OCSP response will contain exactly one
relevant certificate. However, some OCSP responders include
extraneous certificates. iPXE currently assumes that the first
certificate in the OCSP response is the relevant certificate; OCSP
checks will therefore fail if the responder includes the extraneous
certificates before the relevant certificate.
Fix by using the responder ID to identify the relevant certificate.

[crypto] Report meaningful error when certificate chain validation fails
If a certificate chain contains no certificate which can be validated
as a standalone certificate (i.e. contains no trusted root
certificates or previously-validated certificates) then iPXE will
currently return a fixed error EACCES_UNTRUSTED. This masks the
actual errors obtained when attempting to validate each certificate as
a standalone certificate, and so makes troubleshooting difficult for
the end user.
Fix by instead returning the error obtained when attempting to
validate the final certificate in the chain as a standalone
certificate. This error is most likely (though not guaranteed) to
represent the "real" problem.

Discarding the active ARP cache entry in the middle of a download will
substantially disrupt the TCP stream. Try to minimise any such
disruption by treating ARP cache entries as expensive, and discarding
them only when nothing else is available to discard.

[crypto] Allow an error margin on X.509 certificate validity periods
iPXE has no concept of the local time zone, mainly because there is no
viable way to obtain time zone information in the absence of local
state. This causes potential problems with newly-issued certificates
and certificates that are about to expire.
Avoid such problems by allowing an error margin of around 12 hours on
certificate validity periods, similar to the error margin already
allowed for OCSP response timestamps.

[crypto] Rename KEY= to PRIVKEY= and "key" to "privkey"
The setting name "key" conflicts with the setting name "key" already

CMS includes an unordered certificate set, from which certificates
must be extracted in order by matching up issuers with subjects. We
will use the same functionality as part of the automatic download of
cross-signing certificates. Generalise cms_find_subject() to
x509_find_subject(), and create x509_auto_append().

[crypto] Allow certificate chains to be long-lived data structures
At present, certificate chain validation is treated as an
instantaneous process that can be carried out using only data that is
already in memory. This model does not allow for validation to
include non-instantaneous steps, such as downloading a cross-signing
certificate, or determining certificate revocation status via OCSP.
Redesign the internal representation of certificate chains to allow
chains to outlive the scope of the original source of certificates
(such as a TLS Certificate record).
Allow for certificates to be cached, so that each certificate needs to
be validated only once.

[crypto] Do not allow build-time cryptography settings to be overridden
If a root certificate has been explicitly specified at build time
using TRUST=/path/to/cert then do not allow this to be overridden even
from a trustworthy settings source (such as VMware GuestInfo).
Similarly, if a client certificate (and private key) has been
explicitly specified at build time, then do not allow it to be
overridden at runtime.

[crypto] Allow trusted root certificate to be changed without a rebuild
Changing the trusted root certificate currently requires a rebuild of
the iPXE binary, which may be inconvenient or impractical.
Allow the list of trusted root certificate fingerprints to be
overridden using the "trust" setting, but only at the point of iPXE
initialisation. This prevents untrusted sources of settings
(e.g. DHCP) from subverting the chain of trust, while allowing
trustworthy sources to change the trusted root certificate without
requiring a rebuild.
The basic idea is that if you are able to manipulate a trustworthy
source of settings (e.g. VMware GuestInfo or non-volatile stored
options), then you would be able to replace the iPXE binary anyway,
and so no security is lost by allowing such sources to override the
list of trusted root certificates.

[build] Allow a client certificate to be specified at build time
Allow a client certificate and corresponding private key to be
specified at build time using the syntax
make CERT=/path/to/certificate KEY=/path/to/key
The build process uses openssl to convert the files into DER format,
and includes them within the client certificate store in
clientcert.c. The build process will prompt for the private key
password if applicable.
Note that the private key is stored unencrypted, and so the resulting
iPXE binary (and the temporary files created during the build process)
should be treated as being equivalent to an unencrypted private key
file.
