Rework vs_toolchain.py and vs_env.py.

Chromium's VS toolchains now maintain JSON files with the expected
environment, so we don't need to pull in gyp to figure out the batch
file to run. This drops a long obsolete dependency and will make it
possible to handle other VS architectures. (gyp internally only handled
x86 and x64.)

Also trim away the logic in vs_toolchain.py to account for
non-depot_tools toolchains. Unlike Chromium, we don't use these scripts
outside of CI/CQ.

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.
