Deprecate support for parsing extensions that include an explicit value for "critical" boolean

Project Member Reported by eroman@chromium.org, May 16 2018

Issue description

In the DER encoding of extensions, a critical value of "false" should be omitted (as it is "BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE").

There are however certificates that rely on such incorrect encodings, and platform verifiers allow it.
