Error check X509_ALGOR_set0()

If |param_type| is different from |V_ASN1_UNDEF|, there will usually
be a call to |ASN1_TYPE_new| which allocates and can thus fail. The
result of a failure is that |pval| will leak, which is the case in
both callers in the RSA-PSS code.

This changeset leaves out the call in |X509_ALGOR_set_md|, which
is a void function. This could be fixed in three ways: change its
signature to allow error checking, call |X509_ALGOR_set0| up front
to preallocate, or inline the function in its only internal caller
and remove it from the public API.

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.
