Move curve check out of tls12_check_peer_sigalg.

The current check has two problems:

- It only runs on the server, where there isn't a curve list at all. This was a
  mistake in https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/1843 which flipped it
  from client-only to server-only.

- It only runs in TLS 1.2, so one could bypass it by just negotiating TLS 1.1.
  Upstream added it as part of their Suite B mode, which requires 1.2.

Move it elsewhere. Though we do not check the entire chain, leaving that to the
certificate verifier, signatures made by the leaf certificate are made by the
SSL/TLS stack, so it's reasonable to check the curve as part of checking
suitability of a leaf.

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.
