schannel: Make CURLOPT_CAINFO work better on Windows 7
- Support hostname verification via alternative names (SAN) in the
peer certificate when CURLOPT_CAINFO is used in Windows 7 and earlier.
CERT_NAME_SEARCH_ALL_NAMES_FLAG doesn't exist before Windows 8. As a
result CertGetNameString doesn't quite work on those versions of
Windows. This change provides an alternative solution for
CertGetNameString by iterating through CERT_ALT_NAME_INFO for earlier
versions of Windows.
Prior to this change many certificates failed the hostname validation
when CURLOPT_CAINFO was used in Windows 7 and earlier. Most certificates
now represent multiple hostnames and rely on the alternative names field
exclusively to represent their hostnames.
