Stapled OCSP responses are ignored by default #15483

Description

I did this

curl -v https://3dsec.postfinance.ch/challengeRequestBrowser

This sends an OCSP stapled revocation as of right now because my bank is a clown show and doesn't know how to run a business. Firefox doesn't accept it because the cert is revoked, but curl did.

Note: postfinance might fix their oopsie by the time you read this, but I doubt it, since it's been 24+ hours and they seemingly have no monitoring.

I expected the following

Revocation error, as with curl -v --cert-status https://3dsec.postfinance.ch/challengeRequestBrowser. It's fine (and probably preferable) to not query the CA for OCSP, thereby leaking information to it, but if OCSP revocation is part of the response it should probably respect it by default like Firefox does.

stracing the curl process shows that the OCSP information isn't coming from the CA but seemingly the stapled response.

As an aside note, if anyone has any test domains that sends an OCSP-stapled revocation, that'd be nice, so that this bug report doesn't have to count on the incompetence of a large banking entity.
