Remove the BORINGSSL_ANDROID_SYSTEM P-521 special-case. This dates to https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/boringssl/+/62d05888d1cf178d900b54e7e035928abea512b1 which intended to be removed in a later Android release once X25519 was added. That has since happened. This intentionally leaves the P-521 hooked up for now. Detaching it completely is a more aggressive change (since it's slightly tied up with SHA-512) that should wait until removing ECDSA+SHA512 has stuck in Chrome.

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.
