mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb improvement

Continue parsing when the callback fails to parse a non critical
exception. Also document the behaviour more extensively and pass
the callback error code to the caller unaltered.

See https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/3243#discussion_r432630548
and https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/3243#discussion_r432630968
