  -----------
  Fix handling of NULL sig parameter in ECDSA_sign and similar

The problem is, that it almost works to pass sig=NULL to the
ECDSA_sign, ECDSA_sign_ex and DSA_sign, to compute the necessary
space for the resulting signature.
But since the ECDSA signature is non-deterministic
(except when ECDSA_sign_setup/ECDSA_sign_ex are used)
the resulting length may be different when the API is called again.
This can easily cause random memory corruption.
Several internal APIs had the same issue, but since they are
never called with sig=NULL, it is better to make them return an
error in that case, instead of making the code more complex.

  -----------
  Remove handling of NULL sig param in ossl_ecdsa_deterministic_sign

The handling of sig=NULL was broken in this function, but since it
is only used internally and was never called with sig=NULL, it is
better to return an error in that case.
