It is now unreachable because:
- end_set == end_attr_data is enforced at library/x509_csr.c:236.
- end_exts == end_set is enforced at library/x509_csr.c:248.
- x509_csr_parse_extensions() only returns success if *p == end_exts, enforced
at library/x509_csr.c:188.
So after a successful x509_csr_parse_extensions() call, *p == end_exts ==
end_set == end_attr_data. The condition at line 257 cannot be true.

Don't allow parts of a compound (SEQUENCE or SET) to go beyond the
containing compound.
The inline CSR regression test is derived from the existing "X509 CSR
ASN.1 (OK)" DER test vector. In the extensionRequest attribute, the original
well-formed fragment is:
a029 3027 06092a864886f70d01090e 311a 3018 ...
where 31 1a is the SET containing the Extensions sequence and 30 18 is the
contained Extensions sequence. The malformed test changes only the SET
length byte, from 1a to 19:
a029 3027 06092a864886f70d01090e 3119 3018 ...
The attribute SEQUENCE length and the inner Extensions sequence length are
left unchanged. This makes the SET one byte too short for its containing
attribute, so the parser must reject it with
MBEDTLS_ERR_ASN1_LENGTH_MISMATCH instead of parsing the trailing byte as
data outside the SET.
There is no known security impact, just some risk reduction.

Clarify that the 'sig_algs' set through this function are only enforced
during the key exchange and that 'mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_profile()' should
instead be used to enforce the same algorithms when verifying certificates.

We want to reject small order points for two reasons:
- Those give rise to side channels attacks where the underlying field
arithmetic is not constant time (which our bignum isn't so far),
see the "May the Fourth" paper mentioned in ecp.
- Those force the shared secret to be all-bytes zero, which is bad for
protocols that might require contributory behaviour.
Honest peers will never send low-order points anyway.
While at it, test that we are clipping the input to 255 bits (ie, that
we are unsetting bit 256) as required by the RFC.
Again, honest peers will never send strings with bit 256 set. But the
RFC says to accept such strings anyway, so that's what we do.

When parsing the basicConstraints extension, reject junk after the SEQUENCE
inside the extension (which is probably benign), and reject a SEQUENCE that
extends beyond the extension (could be very dangerous).
Add a non-regression test where a certificate that is technically malformed,
but accepted as a leaf certificate by OpenSSL and other X.509
implementations, to be accepted as a CA certificate by Mbed TLS.

The exact value doesn't matter anyway, but since we mention it, it might
as well be correct.
