crypto/x509,ecoding/asn1: better handling of weird encodings

For various cursed reasons we need to support the BMPString and
T61String ASN.1 string encodings. These types use the defunct UCS-2 and
T.61 character encodings respectively.

This change rejects some characters when decoding BMPStrings which are
not valid in UCS-2, and properly parses T61Strings instead of treating
them as plain UTF-8.

While still not perfect, this matches the behavior of most other
implementations, particularly BoringSSL. Ideally we'd just remove
support for these ASN.1 types (particularly in crypto/x509, where we
don't actually expose any API), but doing so is likely to break some
deploy certificates which unfortunately still use these types in DNs,
despite them being deprecated since 1999/2002.

Fixes #71862
