Fix docs for EVP_Cipher given an AEAD. For AEADs (our only EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER is GCM), EVP_Cipher is not a one-shot operation. It is a thin wrapper over the internal cipher callback in the EVP_CIPHER, complete with treating in == NULL as EVP_CipherFinal_ex. Also document that you should not do this. Also document how you feed in the AAD for an AEAD EVP_CIPHER. (Although callers really should use EVP_AEAD for a much less complex interface.)

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.
