Move some deprecated X.509 functions into the deprecated section

In particular, deprecate get_crl and check_crl. Only gRPC uses them, and
does so incorrectly. It is impossible to implement those callbacks
correctly.

Also remove X509_STORE_CTX_set_cert. No one uses it, and it's redundant
with X509_STORE_CTX_init. We should remove X509_STORE_CTX_set_chain too,
but there are some callers to cleanup.

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.
