GlobalSign: Remove EV bit from ex-GS roots now owned by GTS

RESOLVED GlobalSign nv-sa
AI Summary

GlobalSign has transferred two root certificates to Google Trust Services (GTS), which are currently enabled for Extended Validation (EV) treatment. Due to GTS not having an EV audit, it was determined that the EV status should be removed from these roots to prevent misissuance. The plan includes adding a GlobalSign-controlled intermediate to the trust store and revoking the EV status from the transferred roots.
