dulanshuangqiao created an issue: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/issues/1642



## Description of problem:
GnuTLS has different results than OpenSSL when performing certificate verification. According to RFC5280 and the content of the test case itself, I think it is a gnutls verification error.
RFC5280 states: When the keyUsage extension appears in a certificate, at least one of the bits MUST be set to 1.
The keyusage value of this test case is empty, that is, there is no bit set to 1.

## Version of gnutls used:
gnutls-cli 3.7.3

## Distributor of gnutls (e.g., Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL)
Ubuntu

## How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

 * one certtool --verify --load-ca-certificate RootCA.pem --infile Cert1732784164244D1.pem 
 * two openssl verify -CAfile RootCA.pem Cert1732784164244D1.pem

## Actual results:
openssl:error:1100009E:X509 V3 routines:ossl_x509v3_cache_extensions:invalid certificate
gnutls:Verified. The certificate is trusted.


## Expected results:
gnutls:Not verified. The certificate is NOT trusted.
