Unwind M_ASN1_* macros for primitive types.

At one point in the SSLeay days, all the ASN1_STRING typedefs were
separate structs (but only in debug builds) and the M_ASN1_* macros
included type casts to handle this.

This is long gone, but we still have the M_ASN1_* macros. Remove the
casts and switch code within the library to call the macros. Some
subtleties:

- The "MSTRING" types (what OpenSSL calls its built-in CHOICEs
  containing some set of string types) are weird because the M_FOO_new()
  macro and the tasn_new.c FOO_new() function behave differently. I've
  split those into a separate CL.

- ASN1_STRING_type, etc., call into the macro, which accesses the field
  directly. This CL inverts the dependency.

- ASN1_INTEGER_new and ASN1_INTEGER_free, etc., are generated via
  IMPLEMENT_ASN1_STRING_FUNCTIONS in tasn_typ.c. I've pointed
  M_ASN1_INTEGER_new and M_ASN1_INTEGER_free to these fields. (The free
  function is a no-op, but consistent.)

- The other macros like M_ASN1_BIT_STRING_dup largely do not have
  corresponding functions. I've aligned with OpenSSL in just using the
  generic ASN1_STRING_dup function. But some others, like
  M_ASN1_OCTET_STRING_dup have a corresponding ASN1_OCTET_STRING_dup
  function. OpenSSL retained these, so I have too.

Update-Note: Some external code uses the M_ASN1_* macros. This should
remain compatible, but some type errors may have gotten through
unnoticed. This CL restores type-checking.
