crypto/x509: add signature verification to CreateCertificate

This changes checks the signature generated during CreateCertificate
and returns an error if the verification fails. A benchmark is also
added. For RSA keys the delta looks to be insignificant, but for
ECDSA keys it introduces a much larger delta which is not ideal.

name          old time/op  new time/op   delta
RSA_2048-8    1.38ms ± 6%   1.41ms ± 2%      ~     (p=0.182 n=10)
ECDSA_P256-8  42.6µs ± 4%  116.8µs ± 4%  +174.00%  (p=0.000 n=1

Fixes #40458
