Make LHASH a completely internal type

The one remaining external reference was in an unused parameter where it
was impossible to obtain a non-null value. Remove the last of that
machinery from the public API. This leaves us free to completely rework
LHASH_OF(T) internally, including making it a template that understands
whether it owns its values.

(If we end up needing to revert it, we can still make the real
LHASH_OF(T) into a template. It just won't be called LHASH_OF(T)
anymore.)

Update-Note: Calling code which references LHASH_OF(T) will no longer
compile. We have had no public APIs that allow a caller to usefully
construct an LHASH_OF(T) for some time, so this only ever came up in odd
cases around bindings APIs.

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.

To file a security issue, use the Chromium process and mention in the report this is for BoringSSL. You can ignore the parts of the process that are specific to Chromium/Chrome.
