openssl: fix overflow check for long --tls-cipher option

The length check in tls_ctx_restrict_ciphers() did not check for overflow,
which could lead to a stack buffer overflow.

This has no real-world impact, because --tls-cipher can only be specified
by entities that are allowed to supply config settings.  Since those
entities can also change --script-security and call scripts and/or
plugins, these users already have code execution at the level of the
openvpn process.  In other words: the attacker would not gain any
capabilities.  Nevertheless, a nasty bug that we should fix.

This bug was discovered and reported to the OpenVPN security team by
Guido Vranken.
