Please review this change to Distrust TLS server certificates anchored
by Symantec Root CAs. Although the restrictions won't kick in until
after 12 GA, the fix touches code that validates certificate chains, so
getting this into 12 now will provide more assurance that the chain
validation code continues to work properly.
