Add a 'configs_exclude' option to the generated GN 'create_tests' template.

Chromium uses GN's default configs feature which makes all targets default to a
set of configs. It then expects third_party code to take one of them
(chromium_code) out and put in a different one (no_chromium_code).

Because of that, we need a way to tell the template to emit -= lines. Add a
separate option for that.

(It may be worth making us clean against the chromium_code config rather than
the no_chromium_code one, but I'll explore that separately in case making the C
code clean ends up being a rabbithole.)

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.
