[release-branch.go1.10] crypto/x509: tighten EKU checking for requested EKUs.

There are, sadly, many exceptions to EKU checking to reflect mistakes
that CAs have made in practice. However, the requirements for checking
requested EKUs against the leaf should be tighter than for checking leaf
EKUs against a CA.

Fixes #23884
