I thought about it but anyway the certchain is still a chain. If I just treat them as an unordered set of certs, it seems too tolerant.

This fix searches for a trust anchor in the cert chain, if truncate at the position if one is found. If the first certificate is already a trust anchor, we don't do validation at all.
