Description

Update StrongSwan to 5.9.11

https://github.com/strongswan/strongswan/releases/tag/5.9.11

Currently we are using 5.9.8, and there is some security fixed is 5.9.10 related to certificate validation.
But since 5.9.11 has been released, and fixes some regressions introduced in 5.9.10, I have selected that as the target version instead.

Do you tested it ? using our current rolling-release

Hey @fernando - yes, I tested it with two routers in a test environment, with the following setup: https://docs.vyos.io/en/latest/configuration/vpn/site2site_ipsec.html

It works the same as the existing version included in the current rolling release iso.
