crypto/x509: provide better error messages for X.509 verify failures.
Failures caused by errors like invalid signatures or missing hash
functions cause rather generic, unhelpful error messages because no
trust chain can be constructed: "x509: certificate signed by unknown
authority."
With this change, authority errors may contain the reason why an
arbitary candidate step in the chain was rejected. For example, in the
event of a missing hash function the error looks like:
x509: certificate signed by unknown authority (possibly because of
"crypto/x509: cannot verify signature: algorithm unimplemented" while
trying to verify candidate authority certificate 'Thawte SGC CA')
Fixes 5058.
