Add a JSON output to generate_build_files.py. gRPC are currently importing generate_build_files.py, injecting a custom printer, and running into problems with the symlinks they set up to make this work, as well as needing to delete duplicate generated files. https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/53a5ad34c0b5fca2cc9fd9ec4b354ff79c12948b/src/boringssl/gen_build_yaml.py#L130 https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/c/boringssl/+/42164 Rather than layer on more hacks, add a JSON output to generate_build_files.py. This outputs a sources.json file that folks with especially custom builds can consume. (Looks like gRPC converts to some home-grown YAML format which I imagine is further processed by some other generator?) We can then add it to master-with-bazel's output.

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.
