Generate error data at build time. This avoids cluttering up the diff and making merge conflicts a pain. It does, however, mean we need to generate err_data.c ahead of time in Chromium and likely other downstream builds. It also adds a build dependency on Go.

Using Ninja (note the 'N' is capitalized in the cmake invocation):
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -GNinja ..
ninja
Using makefiles (does not work on Windows):
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
You usually don't need to run cmake again after changing CMakeLists.txt files
because the build scripts will detect changes to them and rebuild themselves
automatically.
Honor the standard BUILD_SHARED_LIBS cmake variable. The variable switches the default type for add_library from STATIC to SHARED. We can condition additional stuff on that for convenience. (tabtest still doesn't build.) BoringSSL as any kind of stable system shared library is still very much unsupported, but this is probably handy for making sure we don't forget all those pesky OPENSSL_EXPORTs.

If you want to build as a shared library, pass -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1. On
Windows, where functions need to be tagged with "dllimport" when coming from a
shared library, define BORINGSSL_SHARED_LIBRARY in any code which #includes the
BoringSSL headers.
Add visibility rules. This change marks public symbols as dynamically exported. This means that it becomes viable to build a shared library of libcrypto and libssl with -fvisibility=hidden. On Windows, one not only needs to mark functions for export in a component, but also for import when using them from a different component. Because of this we have to build with |BORINGSSL_IMPLEMENTATION| defined when building the code. Other components, when including our headers, won't have that defined and then the |OPENSSL_EXPORT| tag becomes an import tag instead. See the #defines in base.h In the asm code, symbols are now hidden by default and those that need to be exported are wrapped by a C function. In order to support Chromium, a couple of libssl functions were moved to ssl.h from ssl_locl.h: ssl_get_new_session and ssl_update_cache.

Known Limitations on Windows:
* Versions of cmake since 3.0.2 have a bug in its Ninja generator that causes
yasm to output warnings "yasm: warning: can open only one input file, only
the last file will be processed". These warnings can be safely ignored.
The cmake bug is http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=15253.
* cmake can generate Visual Studio projects, but the generated project files
don't have steps for assembling the assembly language source files, so they
currently cannot be used to build BoringSSL.
