Make it possible to tell what curve was used on the server.

We don't actually have an API to let you know if the value is legal to
interpret as a curve ID. (This was kind of a poor API. Oh well.) Also add tests
for key_exchange_info. I've intentionally left server-side plain RSA missing
for now because the SSL_PRIVATE_KEY_METHOD abstraction only gives you bytes and
it's probably better to tweak this API instead.

(key_exchange_info also wasn't populated on the server, though due to a
rebasing error, that fix ended up in the parent CL. Oh well.)

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.
