Don't send the access_denied alert innappropriately.

access_denied is only used to indicate client cert errors and Chrome
maps it to ERR_SSL_BAD_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT accordingly:

   access_denied
      A valid certificate was received, but when access control was
      applied, the sender decided not to proceed with negotiation.  This
      message is always fatal.

We don't appear to be the cause of Chrome's recent
ERR_SSL_BAD_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT spike, but we should send these correctly
nonetheless.

If the early callback fails, handshake_failure seems the most
appropriate ("I was unable to find suitable parameters"). There isn't
really an alert that matches DoS, but internal_error seems okay?

   internal_error
      An internal error unrelated to the peer or the correctness of the
      protocol (such as a memory allocation failure) makes it impossible
      to continue.  This message is always fatal.

There's nothing wrong, per se, with your ClientHello, but I just can't
deal with it right now. Please go away.

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.
