crypto/tls: expose local Certificates used in handshake via ConnectionState

If the local party didn't send a certificate in the handshake, leave the field nil. This information is predominantly useful when debugging.

Fixes #24673

I spotted some possible problems with your PR:

  1. You have a long 140 character line in the commit message body. Please add line breaks to long lines that should be wrapped. Lines in the commit message body should be wrapped at ~76 characters unless needed for things like URLs or tables. (Note: GitHub might render long lines as soft-wrapped, so double-check in the Gerrit commit message shown above.)

Please address any problems by updating the GitHub PR.

When complete, mark this comment as 'Done' and click the [blue 'Reply' button](https://go.dev/wiki/GerritBot#i-left-a-reply-to-a-comment-in-gerrit-but-no-one-but-me-can-see-it) above. These findings are based on heuristics; if a finding does not apply, briefly reply here saying so.

To update the commit title or commit message body shown here in Gerrit, you must edit the GitHub PR title and PR description (the first comment) in the GitHub web interface using the 'Edit' button or 'Edit' menu entry there. Note: pushing a new commit to the PR will not automatically update the commit message used by Gerrit.

For more details, see:

(In general for Gerrit code reviews, the change author is expected to [log in to Gerrit](https://go-review.googlesource.com/login/) with a Gmail or other Google account and then close out each piece of feedback by marking it as 'Done' if implemented as suggested or otherwise reply to each review comment. See the [Review](https://go.dev/doc/contribute#review) section of the Contributing Guide for details.)

    Message from Gopher Robot

    Congratulations on opening your first change. Thank you for your contribution!

    Next steps:
    A maintainer will review your change and provide feedback. See
    https://go.dev/doc/contribute#review for more info and tips to get your
    patch through code review.

    Most changes in the Go project go through a few rounds of revision. This can be
    surprising to people new to the project. The careful, iterative review process
    is our way of helping mentor contributors and ensuring that their contributions
    have a lasting impact.

    During May-July and Nov-Jan the Go project is in a code freeze, during which
    little code gets reviewed or merged. If a reviewer responds with a comment like
    R=go1.11 or adds a tag like "wait-release", it means that this CL will be
    reviewed as part of the next development cycle. See https://go.dev/s/release
    for more details.
