Client auth is only legal in certificate-based ciphers.
OpenSSL used to only forbid it on the server in plain PSK and allow it on the
client. Enforce it properly on both sides. My read of the rule in RFC 5246 ("A
non-anonymous server can optionally request a certificate") and in RFC 4279
("The Certificate and CertificateRequest payloads are omitted from the
response.") is that client auth happens iff we're certificate-based.
The line in RFC 4279 is under the plain PSK section, but that doesn't make a
whole lot of sense and there is only one diagram. PSK already authenticates
both sides. I think the most plausible interpretation is that this is for
certificate-based ciphers.

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.
