Fix OCSP_basic_verify signer certificate validation

The function `OCSP_basic_verify` validates the signer certificate on an OCSP
response. The internal function, ocsp_verify_signer, is responsible for this
and is expected to return a 0 value in the event of a failure to verify.
Unfortunately, due to a bug, it actually returns with a postive success
response in this case. In the normal course of events OCSP_basic_verify
will then continue and will fail anyway in the ocsp_check_issuer function
because the supplied "chain" value will be empty in the case that
ocsp_verify_signer failed to verify the chain. This will cause
OCSP_basic_verify to return with a negative result (fatal error). Normally
in the event of a failure to verify it should return with 0.

However, in the case of the OCSP_NOCHECKS flag being used, OCSP_basic_verify
will return with a positvie result. This could lead to callers trusting an
OCSP Basic response when it should not be.
