X.509: Handle midnight alternative notation in GeneralizedTime
The ASN.1 GeneralizedTime object carries an ISO 8601 format date and time. The time is permitted to show midnight as 00:00 or 24:00 (the latter being equivalent of 00:00 of the following day). The permitted value is checked in x509_decode_time() but the actual handling is left to mktime64(). Without this patch, certain X.509 certificates will be rejected and could lead to an unbootable kernel. Note that with this patch we also permit any 24:mm:ss time and extend this to UTCTime, which whilst not strictly correct don't permit much leeway in fiddling date strings.
