consensus: guard against openssl's new strict DER checks
New versions of OpenSSL will reject non-canonical DER signatures. However, it'll happily decode them. Decode then re-encode before verification in order to ensure that it is properly consumed. Github-Pull: #5634 Rebased-From: 488ed32f2ada1d1dd108fc245d025c4d5f252783
