This change exposes the functions needed to support arbitrary elliptic
curve groups. The Java API[1] doesn't allow a provider to only provide
certain elliptic curve groups. So if BoringSSL is an ECC provider on
Android, we probably need to support arbitrary groups because someone
out there is going to be using it for Bitcoin I'm sure.

Perhaps in time we can remove this support, but not yet.

Change |EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name| to report |ERR_R_MALLOC_FAILURE|
itself, so that reporting of |EC_R_UNKNOWN_GROUP| is not confused by
the caller's addition of a spurious |ERR_R_MALLOC_FAILURE|.

BoringSSL always uses uncompressed points. This function aborts if
another form is requested or does nothing if uncompressed points are
requested.

OpenSSH, especially, does some terrible things that mean that it needs
the EVP_CIPHER structure to be exposed ☹. Damian is open to a better API
to replace this, but only if OpenSSL agree too. Either way, it won't be
happening soon.

EC_GROUP_copy is an rather unfriendly function; it doesn't work if the groups
have different[*] underlying EC_METHODs, but this notion is not exposed through
the API. I found no callers of EC_GROUP_copy in external code.

This leaves the precompute_mult functions as the remaining mutable API exposed
through EC_GROUP.

[*] Though, of the two EC_METHODs right now, simple.c is entirely unused.

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.
