Clarify logic in BIO_*printf functions
The static function dynamically allocates an output buffer if the output grows larger than the static buffer that is normally used. The original logic implied that |currlen| could be greater than |maxlen| which is incorrect (and if so would cause a buffer overrun). Also the original logic would call OPENSSL_malloc to create a dynamic buffer equal to the size of the static buffer, and then immediately call OPENSSL_realloc to make it bigger, rather than just creating a buffer than was big enough in the first place. Thanks to Kevin Wojtysiak (Int3 Solutions) and Paramjot Oberoi (Int3 Solutions) for reporting this issue. Reviewed-by: Andy Polyakov <appro@openssl.org> (cherry picked from commit 9d9e3774)
