Description
This PR updates the certificate validation checks on bootup to limit validation to only the certificates within the chain of the node certificates. In 2.18.0 there was a change that validated all certificates contained in a bundle even if they were not part of the chain from the node certificates. Since those certs are not pertinent to OpenSearch, the validation does not need to occur.
Opening this in Draft as POC to start soliciting some feedback. Automated tests need to be added for different scenarios.
