Import chacha-x86.pl fix.

Patch from https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-dev/2016-March/005625.html.

Upstream has yet to make a decision on aliasing requirements for their
assembly. If they choose to go with the stricter aliasing requirement rather
than land this patch, we'll probably want to tweak EVP_AEAD's API guarantees
accordingly and then undiverge.

In the meantime, import this to avoid a regression on x86 from when we had
compiler-vectorized code on GCC platforms.  Per our assembly coverage tools and
pending multi-CPU-variant tests, we have good coverage here. Unlike Poly1305
(which is currently waiting on yet another upstream bugfix), where there is
risk of missed carries everywhere, it is much more difficult to accidentally
make a ChaCha20 implementation that fails based on the data passed into it.

This restores a sizeable speed improvement on x86.

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.
