Remove BIGNUM from uncompressed coordinate parsing.

Compressed coordinates still use BIGNUM. I've moved the curve check to
an EC_FELEM-based ec_point_set_affine_coordinates and implemented a
tighter one than ec_GFp_simple_is_on_curve, which currently needs to
branch on Jacobian vs. affine and potentially leaks information. (A
later CL will make it conservatively always perform a Jacobian check.)

The Trust Tokens implementation will eventually need to deserialize
points, so this avoids needing to allocate EC_POINTs everywhere.
Likewise if we ever get around to adding a better ECDH, this will let us
avoid pulling in BIGNUMs.

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.
