Bas Westerbaan fa2ee19f65 x509: Add VerifyOptions.UnknownAlgorithmVerifier
This allows callers to verify certificates using algorithms that Go
does not support (yet).

For instance, here we're verifying the ML-KEM-512 example certificate
from the LAMPS WG signed by a ML-DSA-44 public key.

        }
        block, _ := pem.Decode(raw)
        if block == nil {
                return nil, fmt.Errorf("pem.Decode(%s) failed", path)
        }
        return x509.ParseCertificate(block.Bytes)
