Fix a bug detecting BER deeply nested inside DER

When BER was nested deep inside otherwise valid DER, cbs_find_ber's
internally book-keeping would clobber *out_ber_found and lose track that
there was some BER to convert.

This is unlikely to come up in real world inputs, as the only reason to
use any of these awful BER features is to stream the output. I.e., there
is no reason to have indefinite-length inside definite-length, and there
is no reason to have definite-length constructed string. That means
cbs_find_ber, realistically, can just check for indefinite-length
encoding at the front and do nothing else.

Nonetheless, these inputs are nominally allowed, so fix the book-keeping
bug.

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.
