David Benjamin 0375127606 Promise more accurate bounds than EVP_MD_MAX_SIZE.
A caller using EVP_Digest* which a priori knows tighter bounds on the
hash function used (perhaps because it is always a particular hash) can
assume the function will not write more bytes than the size of the hash.

The letter of the rules before vaguely[*] allowed for more than
EVP_MD_MAX_SIZE bytes written which made for some unreasonable code in
Chromium. Officially clarify this and add tests which, when paired with
valgrind and ASan prove it.

BUG=59

[*] Not really. I think it already promised the output length will be
both the number of bytes written and the size of the hash and the size
of the hash is given by what the function promises to compute. Meh.

BoringSSL

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.

Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.

Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.

BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.

Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
