Log message:
Fix two bugs in X509_NAME_add_entry(3):
(1) Evaluate the "set" argument, which says whether to create a new
RDN or to prepend or append to an existing one, before reusing it
for a different purpose, i.e. for the "set" field of the new
X509_NAME_ENTRY structure.
(2) When incrementing of some "set" fields is needed, increment the
correct ones: All those to the right of the newly inserted entry,
but not the one of that entry itself.

These two bugs caused wrong results whenever using loc != -1,
i.e. whenever inserting rather than appending entries, even when
using set == 0 only, that is, even when using single-values RDNs only.

Both bugs have been continuously present since at least SSLeay-0.8.1
(released July 18, 1997) and the second one since at least SSLeay-0.8.0
(released June 25, 1997), so both are over twenty years old.

I found these bugs by code inspection while trying to document the
function X509_NAME_ENTRY_set(3), which is public, but undocumented
in OpenSSL.
