Add a note about extension callback names. For TLS 1.3, since the bulk of extensions move to EncryptedExtensions, we made the extension callbacks apply to EncryptedExtensions and pulled the few ServerHello extensions out of the callback system. This means the ServerHello naming is a little confusing. We probably should rename these callbacks, though parse_server is a bit ambiguous as to whether this is "parse the extension from the server" or "parse as a server". For now, add a comment.

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.
