Reland "Check AlgorithmIdentifier parameters for RSA and ECDSA signatures.""

This is a looser reland of
https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/c/boringssl/+/41804, which was
reverted in
https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/c/boringssl/+/42804.

Enforcing that the ECDSA parameters were omitted rather than NULL hit
some compatibility issues, so instead allow either forms for now. To
align with the Chromium verifier, we'll probably want to later be
stricter with a quirks flag to allow the invalid form, and then add a
similar flag to Chromium. For now, at least try to reject the completely
invalid parameter values.

Update-Note: Some invalid certificates will now be rejected at
verification time. Parsing of certificates is unchanged.

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.
