Remove VS 2015 support. VS 2017 was released in March 2017, five years ago now. This means VS 2015 is now past our support window. This will make the unmarked and "vs2017" configs in CI/CQ do the same thing. I'll follow up with a separate CL in infra/config to switch the test VS 2019 instead. Update-Note: BoringSSL may no longer build with VS 2015. Consumers should upgrade to the latest Visual Studio release. VS 2017 or later is required.

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.
