`openssl req` fails with openssl 3.2.2 because the config line
authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid:always,issuer:always
is not supported for certificate signing requests (since the issuing
certificate authority is not known).
David von Oheimb, the OpenSSL dev that made the change, commented in:
openssl/openssl#22966 (comment) :

(I assume `-x505` is a typo for `-x509`.)
In our `make_cert_key` function:
If `sign` is true:
- We don't pass `-x509` to `req`, so in this case it should be safe to
omit the `-extensions` argument. (Old OpenSSL ignores it, new OpenSSL
fails on it.)
- The extensions are passed to the `ca` call later in the function.
There they take effect, and `authorityKeyIdentifier` is valid.
If `sign` is false, this commit has no effect except rearranging the
CLI arguments.
