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] Add support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (PKCS #7)
The Cryptographic Message Syntax (PKCS#7) provides a format for
encapsulating digital signatures of arbitrary binary blobs. A
signature can be generated using
openssl cms -sign -in <file to sign> -binary -noattr \
-signer <signer>.crt -inkey <signer>.key -certfile <CA>.crt \
-outform DER -out <signature>
