Mid-handshake errors that occur before certificate verification currently look like this:

TLS handshake failed: cert verification failed - Invalid certificate verification context [WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER]

Despite no certificate even being received yet, the error complains about a failed verification. The cause here is that cert verification failed is only omitted if the verification result is OK. The default in BoringSSL before verification runs is INVALID_CALL, however.

INVALID_CALL is set/returned in these places:

It is not used anywhere else as a verification result code. To improve the error message, this commit adds INVALID_CALL as a verification result for which no additional error is dislayed.

Mid-handshake errors that occur before certificate verification
currently look like this:

```
TLS handshake failed: cert verification failed - Invalid certificate verification context [WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER]
```

Despite no certificate even being received yet, the error complains
about a failed verification. The cause here is that `cert verification
failed` is only omitted if the verification result is `OK`. The default
in BoringSSL before verification runs is `INVALID_CALL`, however.

`INVALID_CALL` is set/returned in these places:
- https://github.com/google/boringssl/blob/44b3df6f03d85c901767250329c571db405122d5/src/ssl/internal.h#L3904
