Revise server-side ECDSA certificate checks.

This is in preparation for simplifying tls1_check_group_id, called by
tls1_check_ec_cert, which, in turn, is in preparation for moving the
peer group list to SSL_HANDSHAKE.

It also helps with bug #55. Move the key usage check to the certificate
configuration sanity check. There's no sense in doing it late. Also
remove the ECDSA peer curve check as we configure certificates
externally. With only one certificate, there's no sense in trying to
remove it.

BUG=55

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.
