Please review this fix, which prevents redundant extension checking in
EndEntityChecker.
When checking extensions in an end entity certificate, if
sun.security.validator.EndEntityChecker comes across any extensions that
are critical and unknown, it throws an exception, even if those
extensions had already been checked by custom PKIXCertPathCheckers
(specified in the PKIXParameters) earlier in the validation by
PKIXValidator. This checking is not necessary when path validation is
performed by a PKIXValidator.
However, if the validation is performed by a SimpleValidator,
EndEntityChecker should continue to check extensions.
