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.

Actually making crypto/asn1 and crypto/x509 const-correct will be a tall
order, between all the hidden caches, non-const ASN.1 macros, and
ambiguity between mutable and immutable getters. But upstream
const-corrected a number of things, so align with them. (In particular,
it is not currently possible to usefully use a non-const X509_NAME.)
I think I've gotten most of x509.h. I started going through x509v3.h,
but all the conf bits take non-const char* pointers, which shows up in
the public (but probably unused) X509V3_CONF_METHOD, so I've left it
alone in this CL.
For some reason, OpenSSL made X509_get_subject_name a const-to-non-const
function but kept X509_get_serialNumber uniformly non-const while adding
a uniformly const X509_get0_serialNumber. I've just mirrored this for
compatibility's sake.
