New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
FOO *x;
it must be:
FOO x;
This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
set a mandatory field to NULL.
This currently only works for SEQUENCE and since it is equivalent to
ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or SEQUENCE OF.

Compiling OpenSSL code with MSVC and /W4 results in a number of warnings.
One category of warnings is particularly interesting - C4701 (potentially
uninitialized local variable 'name' used). This warning pretty much means
that there's a code path which results in uninitialized variables being used
or returned. Depending on compiler, its options, OS, values in registers
and/or stack, the results can be nondeterministic. Cases like this are very
hard to debug so it's rational to fix these issues.
This patch contains a set of trivial fixes for all the C4701 warnings (just
initializing variables to 0 or NULL or appropriate error code) to make sure
that deterministic values will be returned from all the execution paths.

Matt's note: All of these appear to be bogus warnings, i.e. there isn't
actually a code path where an unitialised variable could be used - its just
that the compiler hasn't been able to figure that out from the logic. So
this commit is just about silencing spurious warnings.

Remove old ASN.1 COMPAT type. This was meant as a temporary measure
so older ASN.1 code (from OpenSSL 0.9.6) still worked. It's a hack
which breaks constification and hopefully nothing uses it now, if
it ever did.

According to X6.90 null, object identifier, boolean, integer and enumerated
types can only have primitive encodings: return an error if any of
these are received with a constructed encoding.

This change has associated tags: LEVITTE_before_const and
LEVITTE_after_const. Those will be removed when this change has been
properly reviewed.
Split private key PEM and normal PEM handling. Private key
handling needs to link in stuff like PKCS#8.
Relocate the ASN1 *_dup() functions, to the relevant ASN1
modules using new macro IMPLEMENT_ASN1_DUP_FUNCTION. Previously
these were all in crypto/x509/x_all.c along with every ASN1
BIO/fp function which linked in *every* ASN1 function if
a single dup was used.
Move the authority key id ASN1 structure to a separate file.
This is used in the X509 routines and its previous location
linked in all the v3 extension code.
Also move ASN1_tag2bit to avoid linking in a_bytes.c which
is now largely obsolete.
