Pull request overview
Updates wolfx509 certificate generation to align BasicConstraints behavior with crypto/x509: only emit BasicConstraints when BasicConstraintsValid is set, and mark the emitted extension as critical, with tests covering BasicConstraintsValid/IsCA permutations.
Changes:
- Forward
Certificate.BasicConstraintsValidinto the internal cert build options. - Gate CA/basic constraints encoding on
BasicConstraintsValid, and ensure the BasicConstraints extension is marked critical when emitted. - Add a BasicConstraints test matrix validating presence, criticality, and encoded value across flag permutations.
