Cap decimal input sizes in s2i_ASN1_INTEGER

Decoding from decimal takes quadratic time, and BN_dec2bn will happily
decode however large of input you pass in. This frustrates fuzzers.

I've added a cap to the input length in s2i_ASN1_INTEGER for now, rather
than BN_dec2bn, because we've seen people use BN for surprisingly large
calculator operations, and BN generally doesn't cap inputs to quadratic
(or worse) algorithms beyond memory limits. (We generally rely on
cryptography using fixed parameter sizes, though RSA, DSA, and DH were
misstandardized and need ad-hoc limits everywhere.)

Update-Note: The stringly-typed API for constructing X.509 extensions
now has (very generous) maximum input length for decimal integers of
8,192 digits. If anyone was relying on a higher input, this will break.
This is unlikely and should be caught by unit tests; if a project hits
this outside of tests, that means they are passing untrusted input into
this function, which is a security vulnerability in itself, and means
they especially need this change to avoid a DoS.

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.
