Fix leak on invalid input to a2i_GENERAL_NAME.

Also add some tests for this syntax. The error-handling here is slightly
subtle. Although we do call GENERAL_NAME_free on the temporary
GENERAL_NAME on error, GENERAL_NAME's value is freed based on the
type field. That means if you add an object to the value but don't set
the type, it won't be freed.

Only the OTHERNAME codepath was affected by this, and a malloc
failure-only case in the is_string path. I've gone ahead and reworked
all the paths so setting the type happens at the same time as setting
the value, so this invariant is more locally obvious.

This only impacts the unsafe, stringly-typed extensions-building APIs
that no one should be using anyway.

BoringSSL

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.

Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.

Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.

BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.

Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
