Disable SSLv3 by default.

As a precursor to removing the code entirely later, disable the protocol
by default. Callers must use SSL_CTX_set_min_version to enable it.

This change also makes SSLv3_method *not* enable SSL 3.0. Normally
version-specific methods set the minimum and maximum version to their
version. SSLv3_method leaves the minimum at the default, so we will
treat it as all versions disabled. To help debugging, the error code is
switched from WRONG_SSL_VERSION to a new NO_SUPPORTED_VERSIONS_ENABLED.

This also defines OPENSSL_NO_SSL3 and OPENSSL_NO_SSL3_METHOD to kick in
any no-ssl3 build paths in consumers which should provide a convenient
hook for any upstreaming changes that may be needed. (OPENSSL_NO_SSL3
existed in older versions of OpenSSL, so in principle one may encounter
an OpenSSL with the same settings.)

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.
