[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] Add sanity checking of basic constraints, key purpose & key usage

Gnutls requires that certificates have basic constraints present
to be used as a CA certificate. OpenSSL doesn't add this data
by default, so add a sanity check to catch this situation. Also
validate that the key usage and key purpose constraints contain
correct data

* src/rpc/virnettlscontext.c: Add sanity checking of certificate
  constraints
