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
