Fix post-issuance validation logic.
Rather than adding intermediates in the certificate bundle we now
validate the leaf certificate with intermediates as untrusted (used for
chain building only). Only the root certificates are used as trust
anchor.
Not pining intermediate certificates anymore is in line with Let's
Encrypt's latest recommendations:
Rotating the set of intermediates we issue from helps keep the
Internet agile and more secure. It encourages automation and
efficiency, and discourages outdated practices like key pinning.
“Key Pinning” is a practice in which clients — either ACME clients
getting certificates for their site, or apps connecting to their own
backend servers — decide to trust only a single issuing intermediate
certificate rather than delegating trust to the system trust store.
Updating pinned keys is a manual process, which leads to an
increased risk of errors and potential business continuity failures.
