While *pval is usually a pointer in rare circumstances it can be a long
value. One some platforms (e.g. WIN64) where
sizeof(long) < sizeof(ASN1_VALUE *) this will write past the field.
*pval is initialised correctly in the rest of ASN1_item_ex_new so setting it
to NULL is unecessary anyway.
Thanks to Julien Kauffmann for reporting this issue.

ASN1_primitive_new takes an ASN1_ITEM * param |it|. There are a couple
of conditional code paths that check whether |it| is NULL or not - but
later |it| is deref'd unconditionally. If |it| was ever really NULL then
this would seg fault. In practice ASN1_primitive_new is marked as an
internal function in the public header file. The only places it is ever
used internally always pass a non NULL parameter for |it|. Therefore, change
the code to sanity check that |it| is not NULL, and remove the conditional
checking.

Include a flag ASN1_STRING_FLAG_MSTRING when a multi string type is created.
This makes it possible to tell if the underlying type is UTCTime,
GeneralizedTime or Time when the structure is reused and X509_time_adj_ex()
can handle each case in an appropriate manner.
Add error checking to CRL generation in ca utility when nextUpdate is being
set.
change the way ASN1 modules are exported.
Still needs a bit of work for example the hack which a
dummy function prototype to avoid compilers warning about
multiple ;s.
