performance of OCSP and CRL building, by shifting work to a tidy operation
instead.

~> Note: With multiple issuers, a CA which issued a particular revoked
certificate may be removed and re-added, resulting in a different issuer
ID value. When building CRLs, these links are automatically updated for any
missing or added issuers, but during OCSP this value is computed and then
discarded, potentially causing a performance penalty on each request.
During regular CA operations, it is not necessary to run this operation.
<br /><br />
It is suggested to run this tidy when removing or importing new issuers and
on the first upgrade to a post-1.11 Vault version, but otherwise not to run
it during automatic tidy operations.

- `tidy_expired_issuers` `(bool: false)` - Set to true to automatically remove
expired issuers after the `issuer_safety_buffer` duration has elapsed. We
log the issuer certificate on removal to allow recovery; no keys are removed
