doc: Discuss calling X509_verify_cert in cert_verify_callback
Using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback but still calling
X509_verify_cert is useful if applications want to dynamically
configure the X509_STORE_CTX, or postprocess the result, in a way that
does not quite fit the somewhat unpredictable behavior of the
SSL_CTX_set_verify callback. (In my experience, applications rarely
realize it is called multiple times. It's also too late at that point to
reconfigure the X509_STORE_CTX as verification has already started.)
There is one note in the docs that the callback needs to stash the
verify result with X509_STORE_CTX_set_error, but it is not immediately
obvious that X509_verify_cert will do so, or that it is the built-in
behavior. Add a paragraph discussing this.
