encoding/asn1: be stricter by reserialising parsed times.

The time package does normalisation of times: for example day zero is
converted to the last day of the previous month and the 31st of February
is moved into March etc. This makes the ASN.1 parsing a little
worryingly lax.

This change causes the parser to reserialise parsed times to ensure that
they round-trip correctly and thus were not normalised.

Fixes #11134.
