Fix hostname validation in the command-line tool to honour negative return values.
Specifically, an ASN.1 NumericString in the certificate CN will fail UTF-8 conversion and result in a negative return value, which the "x509 -checkhost" command-line option incorrectly interpreted as success. Also update X509_check_host docs to reflect reality. Thanks to Sean Burford (Google) for reporting this issue. Reviewed-by: Richard Levitte <levitte@openssl.org> (cherry picked from commit 0923e7df)
