If a key is found, check whether its `valid_until_ts` attribute satisfies the
`minimum_valid_until_ts` attribute of the `verify_request`. If it does, we
refrain from asking subsequent fetchers for that key.
Even if the above check fails, we still return the found key - the caller may
still find the invalid key result useful. In this case, we continue to ask
subsequent fetchers for the invalid key, in case they return a valid result
for it. This can happen when fetching a stale key result from the database,
before querying the origin server for an up-to-date result.
Args:
verify_request: The request for a verify key. Can include multiple key IDs.
Returns:
A map of {key_id: the key fetch result}.
