(MFC) Verify XML Signature having KeyInfo / X509Data / X509Certificate

This example demonstrates how to verify an XML Digital Signature where the KeyInfo element contains an X509Data element, which in turn contains an X509Certificate element which contains the base64-encoded certificate.

    // The SOAP XML with digital signature verified in this example is available at 
    // https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/sigWithX509Certificate.xml

    // The signed XML downloaded from the above URL contains the following.
    // Note: Everything we need to verify the signature is already available within the signed XML.
    // The KeyInfo part of the Signature contains the X.509 certificate in base64 format,
    // and the public key used to verify the signature is contained within the X.509.
    // Chilkat automatically fetches and uses the public key from the base64 certificate.
