Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing test suite and the Go validation-binary approach described in the linked pull request comment. Determine where compatibility checks belong, then verify that Go accepts certificates and CSRs generated by rcgen and that the new checks pass with the suite.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Go has a TLS stack that is becoming increasingly important as increasingly more projects are written in Go. The test suite should be extended to check Go's TLS stack as well. Going via a binary that does the validation would probably be easiest.
