This function is a little awkward. It mutates global data, so if two
libraries in the address space both attempt to define a custom OID, they
will conflict. But some existing code uses it so, as long as it does so,
we should make it thread-safe.
Along the way, I've switched it to a hash table and removed the ability
to overwrite existing entries. Previously, overwriting a built-in table
would crash (on platforms where const structures are write-protected).
Overwriting a dynamic table implemented this weird merging algorithm.
The one caller I've seen does not appear to need this feature.
I've also switched ASN1_STRING_TABLE_cleanup to a no-op, matching our
other global cleanup functions. This function is not safe to call
without global knowledge of all other uses of the library.
Update-Note: ASN1_STRING_TABLE_add no longer allows overwrite existing
entries. In most cases, this would crash or trigger a race condition
anyway.

There's a test in the file under ifdef, but that is not wired up into
the build.

ASN1_STRING_set_by_NID is very complex and depends on a "global mask"
for most NIDs. (Some NIDs use a single type and use STABLE_NO_MASK to
disable the global mask.) Historically, it defaulted to allowing all
types, but it switched to UTF8String in OpenSSL 1.0.2.
Updating the global mask is not thread-safe, and it's 2021. Let's just
always use UTF-8. The only callers I found set it to UTF-8 anyway (with
the exception of some test script we don't use, and some code that
wasn't compiled). No-op writes in the C/C++ memory model are still race
conditions, so this CL fixes some bugs in those callers.
Update-Note: The global mask for ASN1_STRING_set_by_NID is now always
UTF-8. Callers that want another type should reconsider and, if UTF-8 is
still unsuitable, just pass the actual desired type into
ASN1_mbstring_copy, X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data, etc
