Fixes the output of the following: "[ERR]: Client certificate error (self-signed certificate in certificate chain)." even on successful authentication.
With partial chains enabled the peer can be authenticated even if e.g. there is a chain client <- intermediateCA <- rootCA and only rootCA is configured on the server. Fixes CESNET/netopeer2#1735

This PR adds support for the following scenarios:
server <- intermediateCA <- rootCA&client <- intermediateCA <- rootCAWith this PR, the server gets authenticated by the client even if only
intermediateCAorrootCAare configured. Works the same way for the server.This is not supported by MbedTLS for now.
Fixes CESNET/netopeer2#1735
