Remove global_target from build.

This was added with the generated symbol-prefixing header. But it
seems to be sufficient for crypto to have a dependency on the
generated header, along with some of the stray bits of delocate.

It's a little unclear from CMake documentation how these are processed;
normally .o files can be built before libraries are built or linked,
only the link step depends on.

But, empirically, if A links B, and B has a dependency on C, then CMake
seems to run C before building any of A. I tested this by making a small
project where the generation step slept for three seconds and running
with enough parallelism that we'd have tripped.

Interestingly, in the Makefile output, the individual object file
targets didn't have that dependency, but the target itself did. But this
was true on both A and B, so I think that just might not work.

Also fix the dependency in the custom target. The old formulation broke
when using an absolute path to the symbols file.

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.
