Check for invalid ALPN inputs in SSL_(CTX_)set_alpn_protos.

See also 86a90dc749af91f8a7b8da6628c9ffca2bae3009 from upstream. This
differs from upstream's which treats {NULL, 2} as a valid way to spell
the empty list. (I think this is a mistake and have asked them about
it.)

Upstream's CL also, for them, newly makes the empty list disable ALPN,
when previously they'd disable it but misread it as a malloc failure.
For us, we'd already fixed the misreading due to our switch to
bssl::Array and bssl::Span, but the documentation was odd. This CL
preserves that behavior, but updates the documentation and writes a
test.

Update-Note: SSL_CTX_set_alpn_protos and SSL_set_alpn_protos will now
reject invalud inputs. Previously, they would accept them, but silently
send an invalid ALPN extension which the server would almost certainly
error on.

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.
