Const-correct various X509 functions.

Actually making crypto/asn1 and crypto/x509 const-correct will be a tall
order, between all the hidden caches, non-const ASN.1 macros, and
ambiguity between mutable and immutable getters. But upstream
const-corrected a number of things, so align with them. (In particular,
it is not currently possible to usefully use a non-const X509_NAME.)

I think I've gotten most of x509.h. I started going through x509v3.h,
but all the conf bits take non-const char* pointers, which shows up in
the public (but probably unused) X509V3_CONF_METHOD, so I've left it
alone in this CL.

For some reason, OpenSSL made X509_get_subject_name a const-to-non-const
function but kept X509_get_serialNumber uniformly non-const while adding
a uniformly const X509_get0_serialNumber. I've just mirrored this for
compatibility's sake.

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.
