zcap has incomplete expiration checks in capability chains.

Description

When invoking a capability with a chain depth of 2, i.e., it is delegated directly from the root capability, the expires property is not properly checked against the current date or other date param. This can allow invocations outside of the original intended time period.

Recommendation
