Rename a number of BUF_* functions to OPENSSL_*. Upstream did this in 7644a9aef8932ed4d1c3f25ed776c997702982be, so align with them. Add the new OPENSSL_* names and switch all callers witihn the library to match. Keep the old BUF_* names around for compatibility. Note there were two functions where we already had an OPENSSL_* version: OPENSSL_strdup and OPENSSL_strnlen. The former now gains a NULL check to align with BUF_strdup. The latter gets deduplicated; we had two implementations.

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.
