Maintain the sequence number as a uint64_t.

We spend a lot of effort implementing a big-endian sequence number
update, etc., when the sequence number is just a 64-bit counter. (Or
48-bit counter in DTLS because we currently retain the epoch
separately. We can probably tidy that a bit too, but I'll leave that
for later. Right now the DTLS record layer state is a bit entwined
with the TLS one.)

Just store it as uint64_t. This should also simplify

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.
