Remove bn_sub_part_words assembly.

The assembly only existed for 32-bit x86, which is much less relevant
these days. It's also just a pile of ADDs, ADCs, etc., which compilers
should be able to figure out by now.

This frees us up to clean up that function, including the weird cl/dl
calling convention. No noticeable difference in RSA benchmarks:

Before:
Did 224 RSA 2048 signing operations in 1006100us (222.6 ops/sec)
Did 9240 RSA 2048 verify (same key) operations in 1078563us (8567.0 ops/sec)
Did 8541 RSA 2048 verify (fresh key) operations in 1064996us (8019.7 ops/sec)
Did 32 RSA 4096 signing operations in 1052851us (30.4 ops/sec)
Did 2365 RSA 4096 verify (same key) operations in 1093337us (2163.1 ops/sec)
Did 2222 RSA 4096 verify (fresh key) operations in 1090037us (2038.5 ops/sec)

After:
Did 231 RSA 2048 signing operations in 1018908us (226.7 ops/sec)
Did 9394 RSA 2048 verify (same key) operations in 1095548us (8574.7 ops/sec)
Did 8525 RSA 2048 verify (fresh key) operations in 1062449us (8023.9 ops/sec)
Did 32 RSA 4096 signing operations in 1050236us (30.5 ops/sec)
Did 2376 RSA 4096 verify (same key) operations in 1098509us (2162.9 ops/sec)
Did 2233 RSA 4096 verify (fresh key) operations in 1094724us (2039.8 ops/sec)

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.
