Description
SPIFFE uses URI instead of DNS in the SAN. The webpki library currently does not support URI.
I propose we add support for it.

Research direction
Read the SPIFFE X509-SVID section linked in the issue, then inspect webpki's existing DNS SAN validation path to determine where URI SAN support belongs. Done means URI-based SPIFFE identities are accepted according to that specification, with coverage for the new behavior.
