Richard Levitte cba024dc68 i2d_ASN1_OBJECT(): allocate memory if the user didn't provide a buffer
Since 0.9.7, all i2d_ functions were documented to allocate an output
buffer if the user didn't provide one, under these conditions (from
the 1.0.2 documentation):

    For OpenSSL 0.9.7 and later if B<*out> is B<NULL> memory will be
    allocated for a buffer and the encoded data written to it. In this
    case B<*out> is not incremented and it points to the start of the
    data just written.

i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was found not to do this, and would crash if a NULL
output buffer was provided.

Fixes #6914

Adding new libraries
--------------------

When adding a new sub-library to OpenSSL, assign it a library number
ERR_LIB_XXX, define a macro XXXerr() (both in err.h), add its
name to ERR_str_libraries[] (in crypto/err/err.c), and add
ERR_load_XXX_strings() to the ERR_load_crypto_strings() function
(in crypto/err/err_all.c). Finally, add an entry:

    L      XXX     xxx.h   xxx_err.c

to crypto/err/openssl.ec, and add xxx_err.c to the Makefile.
Running make errors will then generate a file xxx_err.c, and
add all error codes used in the library to xxx.h.

Additionally the library include file must have a certain form.
Typically it will initially look like this:

    #ifndef HEADER_XXX_H
    #define HEADER_XXX_H

    #ifdef __cplusplus
    extern "C" {
    #endif

    /* Include files */

    #include <openssl/bio.h>
    #include <openssl/x509.h>

    /* Macros, structures and function prototypes */


    /* BEGIN ERROR CODES */

The BEGIN ERROR CODES sequence is used by the error code
generation script as the point to place new error codes, any text
after this point will be overwritten when make errors is run.
The closing #endif etc will be automatically added by the script.

The generated C error code file xxx_err.c will load the header
files stdio.h, openssl/err.h and openssl/xxx.h so the
header file must load any additional header files containing any
definitions it uses.
