Description

PKITS is a large X.509 test suite. Some of the stuff in there we don't actually support, but it would be good to run through it all and explicitly mark the things we don't support.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Obtain the PKITS test suite, integrate it into the crypto/x509 test infrastructure, run all tests, and explicitly mark each test case that is not supported by Go's implementation.
