  Log Message:
  -----------
  Improve TLS handling of EC point formats (4.0)

The ec_point_formats extension no longer plays any role in EC
certificate selection or acceptance: tls1_check_pkey_comp() with
its callers in tls1_check_cert_param(), tls12_check_peer_sigalg()
and tls1_check_chain() are removed.  TLS 1.3 disregards
ec_point_formats already, and we can decode any form a peer might
send, so refusing a compressed peer cert in TLS 1.2 because we
didn't advertise compressed buys nothing.

A new 33-compressed-spki ssl_new test verifies that a compressed
EC leaf certificate handshakes at both TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 without
either side opting into LegacyECPointFormats.
