Bugfix
* Mark basic constraints critical as appropriate. Note that the previous
entry for this fix in the 2.16.10 changelog was in error, and it was not
included in the 2.16.10 release as was stated.
Make 'mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_basic_constraints' consistent with RFC
5280 4.2.1.9 which says: "Conforming CAs MUST include this extension in
all CA certificates that contain public keys used to validate digital
signatures on certificates and MUST mark the extension as critical in
such certificates." Previous to this change, the extension was always
marked as non-critical. This was fixed by #4044.
