Require basicConstraints cA flag in intermediate certs.

OpenSSL 1.0.2 (and thus BoringSSL) accepts keyUsage certSign or a
Netscape CA certificate-type in lieu of basicConstraints in an
intermediate certificate (unless X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT) is set.

Update-Note: This change tightens the code so that basicConstraints is required for intermediate certificates when verifying chains. This was previously only enabled if X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT was set, but that flag also has other effects.
