Get rid of all compiler version checks in perlasm files. Since we pre-generate our perlasm, having the output of these files be sensitive to the environment the run in is unhelpful. It would be bad to suddenly change what features we do or don't compile in whenever workstations' toolchains change or if developers do or don't have CC variables set. Previously, all compiler-version-gated features were turned on in https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/6260, but this broke the build. I also wasn't thorough enough in gathering performance numbers. So, flip them all to off instead. I'll enable them one-by-one as they're tested. This should result in no change to generated assembly.

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.
