Check for len < 4 in dn_indicates_v3_cert

Without this check, we potentially look up to 3 characters before
the start of a malloc'd segment, which could provoke a crash under
certain (weird afaik) circumstances.

Fixes 17404; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.

o Major bugfixes (security, correctness):
- Fix a programming error that could cause us to read 4 bytes before
the beginning of an openssl string. This could be used to provoke
a crash on systems with an unusual malloc implementation, or
systems with unsual hardening installed. Fixes bug 17404; bugfix
on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
