RC4_CHAR is a bit in the x86(-64) CPUID information that switches the
RC4 asm code from using an array of 256 uint32_t's to 256 uint8_t's. It
was originally written for the P4, where the uint8_t style was faster.
(On modern chips, setting RC4_CHAR took RC4-MD5 from 458 to 304 MB/s.
Although I wonder whether, on a server with many connections, using less
cache wouldn't be better.)
However, I'm not too worried about a slowdown of RC4 on P4 systems these
days (the last new P4 chip was released nine years ago) and I want the
code to be simplier.
Also, RC4_CHAR was set when the CPUID family was 15, but Intel actually
lists 15 as a special code meaning "also check the extended family
bits", which the asm didn't do.
The RC4_CHAR support remains in the RC4 asm code to avoid drift with
upstream.

This is an initial cut at aarch64 support. I have only qemu to test it
however—hopefully hardware will be coming soon.
This also affects 32-bit ARM in that aarch64 chips can run 32-bit code
and we would like to be able to take advantage of the crypto operations
even in 32-bit mode. AES and GHASH should Just Work in this case: the
-armx.pl files can be built for either 32- or 64-bit mode based on the
flavour argument given to the Perl script.
SHA-1 and SHA-256 don't work like this however because they've never
support for multiple implementations, thus BoringSSL built for 32-bit
won't use the SHA instructions on an aarch64 chip.
No dedicated ChaCha20 or Poly1305 support yet.

Add some missing headers and ensure each header has a short description. doc.go
gets confused at declarations that break before the first (, so avoid doing
that. Also skip a/an/deprecated: in markupFirstWord and process pipe words in
the table of contents.

Otherwise, in C, it becomes a K&R function declaration which doesn't actually
type-check the number of arguments.

Some phones have a buggy NEON unit and the Poly1305 NEON code fails on
them, even though other NEON code appears to work fine.
This change:
1) Fixes a bug where NEON was assumed even when the code wasn't compiled
in NEON mode.
2) Adds a second NEON control bit that can be disabled in order to run
NEON code, but not the Poly1305 NEON code.

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.

Previously, public headers lived next to the respective code and there
were symlinks from include/openssl to them.
This doesn't work on Windows.
This change moves the headers to live in include/openssl. In cases where
some symlinks pointed to the same header, I've added a file that just
includes the intended target. These cases are all for backwards-compat.
