There are many cases where a default TLS database is not able to be
defined within the constraints of a system. For example glib-networking
(or glib-openssl) cannot retrieve the default certificate store on iOS
or Android and need to be initialized from a cert file of certificates
bundled with the application.
Previously GStreamer was relying on a custom patch to glib-networking to
populate the default database from the file pointed to by the
CA_CERTIFICATES environment variable however the mechanism that enabled
this was recently remove from glib-networking.
Adding a more generic g_tls_backend_set_default_database() API allows
application developers to override the default database using their own
certificates as well as allowing equivalent functionality on Android/iOS
(or others) as on the default database handling Linux.

It's unnecessary, and only adds visual noise; we have been fairly
inconsistent in the past, but the semi-colon-less version clearly
dominates in the code base.

Enhance GTestTlsBackend to allow setting the issuer property of
GTlsCertificates, and add a test to ensure certificate chain
construction with g_tls_certificate_new_from_pem() works as expected.

da053e34 broke the tls-certificates test by requiring the backend to
implement g_tls_certificate_verify() (which the test TLS backend
didn't). Add a trivial implementation to make the test pass again;
we'll need something more complicated when we add tests that are
supposed to get errors.
* In order to add contstruct properties to an abstract base
calls, and retain ABI stability, the base class must add a
default implementation of those properties.
* We cannot add a default implementation of certificate-bytes
or private-key-bytes since certificate and private-key properties
are writable on construct-only.
This reverts commit 541c985869.
