Parse the X.509 Basic Constraints.  The basic constraints extension
identifies whether the subject of the certificate is a CA.

BasicConstraints ::= SEQUENCE {
        cA                      BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
        pathLenConstraint       INTEGER (0..MAX) OPTIONAL }

If the CA is true, store it in the x509_certificate.  This will be used
in a follow on patch that requires knowing if the public key is a CA.

There's no need to prefix variables with "is_".  Similar to the
variable "self_signed" simply name this variable "root_ca".

thanks,

Mimi

I’ll change this name (and also the one you identified in the 3rd patch) in the next
round, thanks.
