Let PKI tidy associate revoked certs with their issuers (#16871)
* Refactor tidy steps into two separate helpers

This refactors the tidy go routine into two separate helpers, making it
clear where the boundaries of each are: variables are passed into these
method and concerns are separated. As more operations are rolled into
tidy, we can continue adding more helpers as appropriate. Additionally,
as we move to make auto-tidy occur, we can use these as points to hook
into periodic tidying.

* Refactor revInfo checking to helper

This allows us to validate whether or not a revInfo entry contains a
presently valid issuer, from the existing mapping. Coupled with the
changeset to identify the issuer on revocation, we can begin adding
capabilities to tidy to update this association, decreasing CRL build
time and increasing the performance of OCSP.

* Refactor issuer fetching for revocation purposes

Revocation needs to gracefully handle using the old legacy cert bundle,
so fetching issuers (and parsing them) needs to be done slightly
differently than other places. Refactor this from revokeCert into a
common helper that can be used by tidy.

* Allow tidy to associate revoked certs, issuers

When revoking a certificate, we need to associate the issuer that signed
its certificate back to the revInfo entry. Historically this was
performed during CRL building (and still remains so), but when running
without CRL building and with only OCSP, performance will degrade as the
issuer needs to be found each time.

Instead, allow the tidy operation to take over this role, allowing us to
increase the performance of OCSP and CRL in this scenario, by decoupling
issuer identification from CRL building in the ideal case.
