Usually, the DNs of all loaded CA certificates are included in the
CertificateRequest messages sent by the server.
Alas, certain EAP-TLS clients fail to process this message if the
list is too long, returning the fatal TLS alert 'illegal parameter'.
This new option allows configuring whether CAs are included or an
empty list is sent (TLS 1.2), or the certificate_authorities extension
is omitted (TLS 1.3). The list only serves as hint/constraint
for clients during certificate selection, they still have to provide
a certificate but are free to select any one they have available.

If no callback is specified, terminate_ike_execute() is invoked without the
listener waiting on the IKE state change.
Now, if 'force' is false, then ike_sa->delete() just queues an
IKE_DELETE task, and returns SUCCESS - indicating successful task
manager initiation.
However, terminate_ike_execute() ignored this success and set the
status to FAILED.
This is not ideal, as it will be the overall return code of
terminate_ike(), although no failure did occur. This eventually leads
vici's "terminate" to return "Command failed: terminating SA failed",
as seen in this example:
In [9]: list(session.terminate({'ike-id': 2960, 'timeout': -1}))

CommandException: Command failed: terminating SA failed
If we consider both queueing the task and actually destroying the IKS_SA
a success, we can just always return SUCCESS if we don't have a
callback. There is also no need to explicitly set the status to FAILED
if a listener is waiting as that's the default anyway.
