tls: include elliptic curve X.509 public key info

X.509 certs are provided to the user in a parsed object form by a number
of TLS APIs. Include public key info for elliptic curves as well, not
just RSA.
- pubkey: the public key
- bits: the strength of the curve
- asn1Curve: the ASN.1 OID for the curve
- nistCurve: the NIST nickname for the curve, if it has one
