How to get all certs into a .der file.

[Kyle Hamilton]

application/pkix-pkipath
Defined in RFC4366 (section 8) and RFC6066 (section 10.1)

PkiPath ::= SEQUENCE OF Certificate

Within the sequence, the order of certificates is such that the subject of
the first certificate is the issuer of the second certificate, etc.

(It's also defined in ITU-T Recommendation X.509(2000) Corrigendum 1(2001)
| ISI/IEC 9594-82001/Cor.1:2002, Technical Corrigendum 1 to ISO/IEC
9594:8:2001.  However, the assignment of the application/pkix-pkipath
identifier was done in RFC4366 anf RFC6066.)
