David Benjamin d2242407bb Don't accept signature OIDs in EVP_get_digestby{nid,obj}. 
This is a remnant of signature EVP_MDs. Detach them from
EVP_get_digestby{nid,obj}. Nothing appears to rely on this for those two
functions. Alas, Node.js appears to rely on it for EVP_get_digestbyname,
so keep that working.

This avoids causing every consumer's parsing to be unintentionally lax.
It also means fewer OIDs to transcribe when detaching the last of
libcrypto from the legacy ASN.1 stack and its giant OID table.

Note this is an externally visible change. There was one consumer I had
to fix, but otherwise everything handled things incorrectly due to this
quirk, so it seemed better to just fix the API rather than fork off a
second set.

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.
