      A new method is needed that returns the length of the last certification
      path validated by sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator. It is necessary
      since engineValidate() may modify the length of the path before invoking
      java.security.cert.CertPathValidator.validate() and there may be
      PKIXCertPathCheckers that depend on the length of the path to perform
      their processing (ex: a checker that checks for an extension in intermediate
      CA certs needs to maintain a counter so it knows when it is passed the target
      certificate).
