crypto/x509: invalid RDNSequence: invalid attribute value: unsupported string type: 18 [1.17 backport]

[gopherbot]

@rolandshoemaker requested issue #48171 to be considered for backport to the next 1.17 minor release.

@gopherbot please open a backport issue for 1.17. This is a regression in the parser rewrite that prevents parsing some certificates.

Approved. This is a serious issue with no workaround.
