Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0() stricter about its input

It turns out that the strictness that was implemented in
EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() (see Github openssl/openssl#6880) was badly placed
for some usages, and that it's better to do this check only when the
method is getting registered.

Fixes #7758

  Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [xx XXX xxxx]
 
+  *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
   *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script.  The
      'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
      necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
