Defer allocating reassembly buffers in DTLS

When reassembling a DTLS message, we allocate:
- A buffer to hold the reassembled message
- A bitmap to track what portions of the message has been received

This means that once we receive a single fragment of the message, we
allocate this data. While bounded, it would be nice to wait until the
peer has sent us that much data first.

If we instead tracked the fragments individually, the memory would be
proportional to the total data received, but efficient reassembly
becomes tricky.

Square this circle by using both representations. While we've received
so few fragments that the message cannot possibly be complete, just
store the fragments separately. Once enough data is received, switch to
the reassembly buffer representation.

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.
