Trim unnecessary -lrt and ws2_32 deps in the build. The ws2_32 dependency comes from BIO, which is in libcrypto. Once it's added there, it should get inherited by anything downstream, so we don't need to keep listing it. We also no longer need -lrt. We tried to remove it in https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/4622, but had to revert it in https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/4894 because of clock_gettime. clock_gettime, per the Linux man page, is now in libc, not librt, as of glibc 2.17. THat was released December 2012, well past our five year watermark, so clean this part of the build up.

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.
