Correctly propagate errors in i2d functions.

tasn_enc.c was missing lots of error checks and mixed up 0 and -1
returns. Document all the internal calling conventions, as best as I can
tell, and fix things up.

There are also error cases it forgets to check (it generally does not
notice missing non-OPTIONAL fields). This CL only addresses errors it
already tries to report. Subsequent CLs will add in the missing error
cases. And then if it all sticks, I'm hoping we can rewrite this with
CBB. Rewriting tsan_dec.c to CBS would also be good, but that will be
more difficult as we need to clear out BER first.

Update-Note: Some error cases which were silently misinterpreted as
missing OPTIONAL elements will now cause encoding to fail.

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.
