Add an option to permute ClientHello extension order.

Although not permitted by the TLS specification, systems sometimes
ossify TLS extension order, or byte offsets of various fields. To
keep the ecosystem healthy, add an API to reorder ClientHello
extensions.

Since ECH, HelloRetryRequest, and HelloVerifyRequest are sensitive to
extension order, I've implemented this by per-connection permutation of
the indices in the kExtensions structure. This ensures that all
ClientHellos within a connection are consistently ordered. As follow-up
work, permuting the other messages would also be nice, though any server
messages would need to be incorporated in handshake hints.

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.
