I'd call it max_age actually. TTL doesn't feel quite like what now() - this_update means.

when would thisUpdate > nextUpdate? Or is this just defensive?

Yup completely defensive, it should never be greater.
- Validate that the ThisUpdate value is properly prior to our current time and if NextUpdate is set that, ThisUpdate is before NextUpdate. - If we don't have a value for NextUpdate just compare against ThisUpdate.
- Allow configuring a maximum TTL of the OCSP response based on the ThisUpdate time like OpenSSL does - Add test to validate that we don't cache OCSP responses with no NextUpdate

Support OCSP responses without a NextUpdate value set within cert-auth OCSP verification. Responses without a NextUpdate value are allowed based on RFC6960 Section 4.2.2.1
Previous to this fix, if OCSP checks were enabled and an OCSP response didn't contain a NextUpdate value, cert auth logins would fail with a message similar to
Now OCSP responses without a NextUpdate field set will be allowed, the response will not be cached, as mentioned in the RFC, a lack of a NextUpdate field means there is newer revocation information available all the time.
Additional checks that the ThisUpdate field does contain a proper timestamp and is before then the current time have also been added within the list of verifications performed for us to trust an OCSP response.
A new cert auth configuration has been introduced called
ocsp_this_update_max_ttl, with a default of 0. If this field is greater than 0, cert-auth will enforce an OCSP response's ThisUpdate field is less than the configured value. This can be used to avoid accepting older OCSP response values based on policies. We have avoided enforcing this by default for backwards compatibility reasons.
