David Benjamin 375124b162 Parse BER for PKCS#12 more accurately.
CBS_asn1_ber_to_der currently uses heuristics because implicitly-tagged
constructed strings in BER are ambiguous with implicitly-tagged sequences. It's
not possible to convert BER to DER without knowing the schema.

Fortunately, implicitly tagged strings don't appear often so instead split the
job up: CBS_asn1_ber_to_der fixes indefinite-length elements and constructed
strings it can see. Implicitly-tagged strings it leaves uncoverted, but they
will only nest one level down (because BER kindly allows one to nest
constructed strings arbitrarily!).

CBS_get_asn1_implicit_string then performs the final concatenation at parse
time. This isn't much more complex and lets us parse BER more accurately and
also reject a number of mis-encoded values (e.g. constructed INTEGERs are not a
thing) we'd previously let through. The downside is the post-conversion parsing
code must be aware of this limitation of CBS_asn1_ber_to_der. Fortunately,
there's only one implicitly-tagged string in our PKCS#12 code.

(In the category of things that really really don't matter, but I had spare
cycles and the old BER converter is weird.)
