[PATCH v16 07/38] tpm-buf: Merge TPM_BUF_BOUNDARY_ERROR and TPM_BUF_OVERFLOW

From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen at opinsys.com>

Merge TPM_BUF_BOUNDARY_ERROR and TPM_BUF_OVERFLOW into TPM_BUF_INVALID,
given that they are identical (the only difference being the associated
log messages).

In addition, add a missing TPM_BUF_INVALID check to tpm_buf_append_handle()
following the pattern from other functions in tpm-buf.c.
