Retrieve CA for client cert from SSL*

[Fen Fox]

SSL_get0_verified_chain was exactly what I needed, thanks!

No, that's not necessary.  After the completion of the handshake one can call SSL_get0_verified_chain(3).

This chain is only available on full handshakes, when validation is successful (SSL_get_verify_result(3) returns X509_V_OK).  On resumption, only the leaf certificate is available from the resumed session, via SSL_get_peer_certificate(3).

Of course there might not be a client certificate at all.
