Having to check for header_len == len and a last byte of 0x80 is
actually unambiguous, but not obvious. Before we supported multi-byte
tags, a two-byte header was always {tag, 0x80}, but now a three-byte
header could be {tag1, tag2, 0x80}. But a 0x80 suffix could also be
{tag, 0x81, 0x80} for a 128-byte definite-length element.
This is unambiguous because header_len == len implies either zero length
or indefinite-length, and it is not possible to encode a definite length
of zero, in BER or DER, with a header that ends in 0x80. Still, rather
than go through all this, we can just report indefinite lengths to the
caller directly.
Update-Note: This is a breaking change to CBS_get_any_ber_asn1_element.
There is only one external caller of this function, and it should be
possible to fix them atomically with this change, so I haven't bothered
introducing another name, etc. (See cl/429632075 for the fix.)

See also 8393de42498f8be75cf0353f5c9f906a43a748d2 from upstream and
CBS-2021-3712. But rather than do that, I've rewritten it with CBS, so
it's a bit clearer. The previous commit added tests.

BER permits lengths to be non-minimal. Previously this was not supported
at all. This change brings greater support, allowing non-minimal lengths
so long as they fit in a uint32_t.

We have several implementations of this internally, so consolidate them.
Chromium also has a copy in net/der/parse_values.cc which could call
into this.
(I'm also hoping we can make c2i_ASN1_INTEGER call this and
further tighten up crypto/asn1's parser, but I see Chromium still has an
allow_invalid_serial_numbers option, so perhaps not quite yet.)
Update-Note: This CL does not change behavior, but I'm leaving a note to
myself to make net/der/parse_values.cc call the new functions.
