Add a multi-threaded mode to bssl speed

This is inspired somewhat from how https://github.com/google/benchmark's
threaded benchmark support works. (It seems to spawn a bunch of threads,
latch them all together, and then run.)

This adds a TimeFunctionParallel which runs multiple copies of the
benchmark in parallel, after waiting for all the threads to synchronize.
Some functions had to be tweaked so they don't write to a single, shared
output buffer.

This probably could use some improvement. In playing with it, the
numbers are pretty unstable. We also don't currently benchmark anything
that captures EVP's internal refcounts. But hopefully it's enough to get
a start. I am able to measure impacts from the PRNG locks at least.

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.
