Unwind M_ASN1_* macros for primitive types.

At one point in the SSLeay days, all the ASN1_STRING typedefs were
separate structs (but only in debug builds) and the M_ASN1_* macros
included type casts to handle this.

This is long gone, but we still have the M_ASN1_* macros. Remove the
casts and switch code within the library to call the macros. Some
subtleties:

- The "MSTRING" types (what OpenSSL calls its built-in CHOICEs
  containing some set of string types) are weird because the M_FOO_new()
  macro and the tasn_new.c FOO_new() function behave differently. I've
  split those into a separate CL.

- ASN1_STRING_type, etc., call into the macro, which accesses the field
  directly. This CL inverts the dependency.

- ASN1_INTEGER_new and ASN1_INTEGER_free, etc., are generated via
  IMPLEMENT_ASN1_STRING_FUNCTIONS in tasn_typ.c. I've pointed
  M_ASN1_INTEGER_new and M_ASN1_INTEGER_free to these fields. (The free
  function is a no-op, but consistent.)

- The other macros like M_ASN1_BIT_STRING_dup largely do not have
  corresponding functions. I've aligned with OpenSSL in just using the
  generic ASN1_STRING_dup function. But some others, like
  M_ASN1_OCTET_STRING_dup have a corresponding ASN1_OCTET_STRING_dup
  function. OpenSSL retained these, so I have too.

Update-Note: Some external code uses the M_ASN1_* macros. This should
remain compatible, but some type errors may have gotten through
unnoticed. This CL restores type-checking.

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.
