Please review this fix for a regression that removes the requirement that a certificate's Authority Key Identifier must match the issuing certificate's Subject Key Identifier when building a certificate chain.

The certificate chain validation algorithm in RFC 5280 does not require that the AKID/SKID match.

I have moved the AKID/SKID match into the sorting criteria for building paths. If they match, it will try that certificate first, but it will also fallback and search other paths.

A new test has been added to the closed area since it depends on certificates contributed by the submitter.
