Matthew Braithwaite a57dcfb69c Add new cipherlist-setting APIs that reject nonsense. 
The new APIs are SSL_CTX_set_strict_cipher_list() and
SSL_set_strict_cipher_list().  They have two motivations:

First, typos in cipher lists can go undetected for a long time, and
can have surprising consequences when silently ignored.

Second, there is a tendency to use superstition in the construction of
cipher lists, for example by "turning off" things that do not actually
exist.  This leads to the corrosive belief that DEFAULT and ALL ought
not to be trusted.  This belief is false.

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.
