PKI - Fix order of chain building writes (#17772)
* Ensure correct write ordering in rebuildIssuersChains

When troubleshooting a recent migration failure from 1.10->1.11, it was
noted that some PKI mounts had bad chain construction despite having
valid, chaining issuers. Due to the cluster's leadership trashing
between nodes, the migration logic was re-executed several times,
partially succeeding each time. While the legacy CA bundle migration
logic was written with this in mind, one shortcoming in the chain
building code lead us to truncate the ca_chain: by sorting the list of
issuers after including non-written issuers (with random IDs), these
issuers would occasionally be persisted prior to storage _prior_ to
existing CAs with modified chains.

The migration code carefully imported the active issuer prior to its
parents. However, due to this bug, there was a chance that, if write to
the pending parent succeeded but updating the active issuer didn't, the
active issuer's ca_chain field would only contain the self-reference and
not the parent's reference as well. Ultimately, a workaround of setting
and subsequently unsetting a manual chain would force a chain
regeneration.

In this patch, we simply fix the write ordering: because we need to
ensure a stable chain sorting, we leave the sort location in the same
place, but delay writing the provided referenceCert to the last
position. This is because the reference is meant to be the user-facing
action: without transactional write capabilities, other chains may
succeed, but if the last user-facing action fails, the user will
hopefully retry the action. This will also correct migration, by
ensuring the subsequent issuer import will be attempted again,
triggering another chain build and only persisting this issuer when
all other issuers have also been updated.

* Remigrate ca_chains to fix any missing issuers

In the previous commit, we identified an issue that would occur on
legacy issuer migration to the new storage format. This is easy enough
to detect for any given mount (by an operator), but automating scanning
and remediating all PKI mounts in large deployments might be difficult.

Write a new storage migration version to regenerate all chains on
upgrade, once.

// (Otherwise, if this is called with one existing issuer and one new
// reference cert, and the reference cert sorts before the existing
// issuer, we will sort this list and have persisted the new issuer
// first, and may fail on the subsequent write to the existing issuer.
// Alternatively, if we don't sort the issuers in this order and there's
// a parallel chain (where cert A is a child of both B and C, with
// C.ID < B.ID and C was passed in as the yet unwritten referenceCert),
// then we'll create a chain with order A -> B -> C on initial write (as

//
// So, we take this to mean we should build chains via DFS: each issuer is
// explored until an empty parent pointer (i.e., self-loop) is reached and
// then the last most recently seen duplicate parent link is then explored.
//
// However, we don't actually need to do a DFS (per issuer) here. We can
// simply invert the (pseudo-)directed graph, i.e., topologically sort it.
// Some number of certs (roots without cross-signing) lack parent issuers.
// These are already "done" from the PoV of chain building. We can thus
// iterating through the parent mapping to find entries without parents to
// start the sort. After processing, we can add all children and visit them
// if all parents have been processed.
//
// Note though, that while topographical sorting is equivalent to the DFS,
// we have to take care to make it a pseudo-DAG. This means handling the
// most common 2-star (2-clique) sub-graphs of reissued certificates,
// manually building their chain prior to starting the topographical sort.

// acting as a node-collapsing technique (turning many nodes into one).
// In reality, we just special-case this and handle the processing of
// these nodes manually, fixing their CAChain value and then skipping

//
// Since clique detection is (in this case) cheap (at worst O(n) on the
// size of the graph), we favor it over the cycle detection logic. The
// order (in the case of mixed cliques+cycles) doesn't matter, as the
// discovery of the clique will lead to the cycle. We additionally find
// all (unprocessed) cliques first, so our cycle detection code can avoid
// falling into cliques.
//
// We need to be able to handle cliques adjacent to cycles. This is
// necessary because a cross-signed cert (with same subject and key as
// the clique, but different issuer) could be part of a cycle; this cycle
// loop forms a parent chain (that topo-sort can't resolve) -- AND the

// sufficient (as the reissued clique plus the cross-signed cert
// effectively acts as a single node in the cycle). Oh, and there might
// be multiple cycles. :-)

// can satisfy this relation with any node of the existing clique, it must
// mean it must form a larger clique and satisfy this relationship with
