    Don't set *pval to NULL in ASN1_item_ex_new.
    
    While *pval is usually a pointer in rare circumstances it can be a long
    value. One some platforms (e.g. WIN64) where
    sizeof(long) < sizeof(ASN1_VALUE *) this will write past the field.
    
    *pval is initialised correctly in the rest of ASN1_item_ex_new so setting it
    to NULL is unecessary anyway.
    
    Thanks to Julien Kauffmann for reporting this issue.
