Tidy up how ASN1_STRING_print_ex figures out the type.

Between the lookup table, the multiple layers of reuse of the "type"
variable, it is a little hard to follow what's going on with
ASN1_STRING_print_ex. Replace the lookup table with a switch-case
(implicitly handles the bounds check, and we can let the compiler figure
out the best spelling). Then, rather than returning a "character width",
which doen't represent UTF-8, just use the already-defined MBSTRING_*
constants.

(These changes should be covered by the existing ASN1Test.StringPrintEx
test.)

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.
