A verifier following RFC 5280 strictly looks for the issuer through a key
identifier and refuses a certificate carrying none: OpenSSL does with
x509_strict, and Python has since 3.13, so a current client rejects an
intercepted connection outright. Working around that by turning verification
off in the client removes the protection interception was meant to preserve.

Generate the identifiers rather than copying them, so they name the CA
signing here and not the one that signed upstream. wolfSSL cannot generate
extensions, so this is in the branch that already depends on that.
