Generalize make_errors.go to allow EVP covering multiple directories. In doing so, this switches make_errors.go to take library names as parameters rather than detecting it from the CWD. (I considered detecting it, but then we'd need to map evp -> crypto/whatever and crypto/whatever -> evp in both directions.) Since crypto/hpke currently sits in the EVP namespace, I've gone ahead and added that, so it should be easier to define new errors in crypto/hpke. I've not added crypto/cipher, etc., yet. Moving those will be a breaking change (consumers that put ERR_LIB_CIPHER and ERR_LIB_EVP in a switch/case need patches).

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.
