Remove alignment requirement on CRYPTO_poly1305_finish. This dates to https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/2850, which was done in response to an ARM crash. I assume the ARM crash was due to poly1305_arm.c casting pointers around, which is technically UB, even on x86 since C says it is UB to cast pointers if the value would be unaligned. (Also I believe it's a strict aliasing violation, though the compilers really ought to give us a sanitizer for it if they're excited about that optimization.) Replace with memcpy, which any reasonable compiler would compile the same on platforms that support unaligned access. ARM does support it these days, so perhaps the crash came from an older ARM? Benchmarks showed no difference with this CL.

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.
