[release-branch.go1.19] crypto/x509: don't panic marshaling invalid ECDSA keys

MarshalPKIXPublicKey, CreateCertificate, CreateCertificateRequest,
MarshalECPrivateKey, and MarshalPKCS8PrivateKey started raising a panic
when encoding an invalid ECDSA key in Go 1.19. Since they have an error
return value, they should return an error instead.

Updates #54288
Fixes #54295
