Properly handle null bytes and invalid characters in control messages
This makes OpenVPN more picky in accepting control message in two aspects:
- Characters are checked in the whole buffer and not until the first
NUL byte
- if the message contains invalid characters, we no longer continue
evaluating a fixed up version of the message but rather stop
processing it completely.
Previously it was possible to get invalid characters to end up in log
files or on a terminal.
This also prepares the logic a bit in the direction of having a proper
framing of control messages separated by null bytes instead of relying
on the TLS framing for that. All OpenVPN implementations write the 0
bytes between control commands.
This patch also include several improvement suggestion from Reynir
(thanks!).
