Work around a NASM bug

I did not have "find a bug in the assembler" on my bingo card today, but
here we are.

NASM 2.15, prior to 2.15.04, has a bug where, if a section that already
exists is referenced again with alignment qualifiers, it incorrect adds
padding and mangles the output. See
https://bugzilla.nasm.us/show_bug.cgi?id=3392701.

Work around this by suppressing the perlasm-emitted qualifiers the
second time a section is emitted. We likely don't need these qualifiers
because, for all sections we care about, NASM's defaults are fine, but
perlasm tries to align .text more aggressively than the default, so let
it do that.

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.
