As part of this change, we ensure that the SAN extensions are marked as
critical when the subject is empty so that AWS PCA tolerates the loss of
common names well and continues to function as a Connect CA provider.
Parts of this currently hack around a bug in crypto/x509 and can be
removed after https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/329129 lands in
a Go release.
Note: the AWS PCA tests do not run automatically, but the following
passed locally for me:
ENABLE_AWS_PCA_TESTS=1 go test ./agent/connect/ca -run TestAWS
Three of the checks are temporarily disabled to limit the size of the
diff, and allow us to enable all the other checks in CI.
In a follow up we can fix the issues reported by the other checks one
at a time, and enable them.
The fields in the certs are meant to hold the original binary
representation of this data, not some ascii-encoded version.
The only time we should be colon-hex-encoding fields is for display
purposes or marshaling through non-TLS mediums (like RPC).
