fix(tls): guard against null cert in checkServerIdentity call

When `getPeerCertificate(true)` returns undefined (e.g. due to SSL
handle or cert chain being unavailable), `checkServerIdentity` would
be called with `undefined` as the cert argument, causing a TypeError:
"Cannot destructure property 'subject' from null or undefined value".

Add a null check on the cert before passing it to `checkServerIdentity`
in both TLS handshake handlers in net.ts.

Closes #23556
