Document that ASN1_STRING_set_by_NID enforces the bounds on the string

This then impacts X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data, which impacts
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ, which impacts
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID.

It is... unfortunate that you need to follow so many links in the docs
to find out what these functions do, but they're all so absurdly
complicated, with layered quirks, it was difficult to keep all those
copies in sync without just referencing each other.

(This came up in discussion of cl/817621459.)
