Previously I've been using the Linaro toolchains and just building
static binaries. However, the Linaro toolchains have a broken
pthread_rwlock_wrlock—it does nothing and then unlocking corrupts the
lock.

Building with the Android NDK avoids this.

These build instructions depend on
https://github.com/taka-no-me/android-cmake which people will need to
clone into util/ if they want to use the Android NDK.

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.

This involves more synchronization with child exits as the kernel no longer
closes the pre-created pipes for free, but it works on Windows. As long as
TCP_NODELAY is set, the performance seems comparable. Though it does involve
dealing with graceful socket shutdown. I couldn't get that to work on Windows
without draining the socket; not even SO_LINGER worked. Current (untested)
theory is that Windows refuses to gracefully shutdown a socket if the peer
sends data after we've stopped reading.

cmd.ExtraFiles doesn't work on Windows; it doesn't use fds natively, so you
can't pass fds 4 and 5. (stdin/stdout/stderr are special slots in
CreateProcess.) We can instead use the syscall module directly and mark handles
as inheritable (and then pass the numerical values out-of-band), but that
requires synchronizing all of our shim.Start() calls and assuming no other
thread is spawning a process.

PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST fixes threading problems, but requires
wrapping more syscalls.  exec.Cmd also doesn't let us launch the process
ourselves. Plus it still requires every handle in the list be marked
inheritable, so it doesn't help if some other thread is launching a process
with bInheritHandles TRUE but NOT using PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST.
(Like Go, though we can take syscall.ForkLock there.)

The more natively Windows option seems to be named pipes, but that too requires
wrapping more system calls. (To be fair, that isn't too painful.) They also
involve a listening server, so we'd still have to synchronize with shim.Wait()
a la net.TCPListener.

Then there's DuplicateHandle, but then we need an out-of-band signal.

All in all, one cross-platform implementation with a TCP sockets seems
simplest.

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.

Define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN before including Windows Platform SDK
headers to preempt naming conflicts and to make the build faster. Avoid
including those headers in BoringSSL headers. Document that Platform

We deal with the difference between binary and text modes on Windows by
doing all I/O in binary mode (including, in particular,
stdin/stdout/stderr) and by treating text mode as equivalent to binary
mode (i.e. we use Unix line ending semantics).

Chromium's doesn't have built-in support for ml64.exe. Seems easier to
just build consistently with Yasm on both Win32 and Win64. (This will
require an equivalent change in Chromium's build, but keep upstream
and downstream builds consistent.)

Also don't set CMAKE_ASM_NASM_COMPILER explicitly; cmake's default
ASM_NASM behavior will search for both nasm or yasm in %PATH%. Leave
it unset so it can be overwritten on the command-line to point to
a particular yasm. Update BUILDING accordingly.

Verified the tests still pass.

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.
