Split BN_prime_checks into two constants for generation and validation. Although (somewhat) documented in prose, it is not obvious from the name that BN_prime_checks only works for randomly-selected candidate primes. Split into BN_prime_checks_for_generation and BN_prime_checks_for_validation. Fix internal call sites. Notably, DH_check now uses more iterations. Consistently call the parameter 'checks' rather than 'iterations', to match BN_prime_checks. This is in preparation for importing the Wycheproof primality testing vectors, some of which include Miller-Rabin worst case values. (Realistically the blinding mechanism meant, even for those inputs, our false positive rate was at most ~2^-64 anyway, but best to keep the use cases clear.) Update-Note: DH_check may be slower after this change.

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.
