-The goals:
-1) calls from inside libcrypto to other libcrypto functions should
-   be via identifiers that are of hidden visibility and -- to avoid
-   confusion or conflicts -- are in the reserved namespace.  By
-   doing this these calls are protected from being overridden by
-   applications and on many platforms can avoid creation or use of
-   GOT or PLT  entries.  I've chosen a prefix of "_lcry_" for this.
-   Note that these symbols aren't in the dynamic symbol table of the
-   libcrypto.so shared library...but they are visible in the static
-   library.
-
-2) calls from libssl to symbols in libcrypto should be via identifiers
-   which won't be accidentally overridden by the application, libc,
-   other random crypto libraries that are pulled in, etc.  I've
-   chosen a prefix of "_libre_" for this.

-These will not be declared directly; instead, the gcc "asm labels"
-extension will be used rename the function.  In order to actually
-set up the desired asm labels, we use these in the internal .h
-files:
-
-   LCRYPTO_USED(x)      Symbols used both internally and externally
-        In builds of libcrypto, this makes gcc convert use of x to
-        use _libre_x instead.  In other builds that use these headers,
-        it makes gcc convert use of x to use _libre_x instead.  Use
-        LCRYPTO_ALIAS(x) to create the external aliases.
-        ex: LCRYPTO_USED(SSL_get_verify_mode)
-
-   LCRYPTO_UNUSED(x)    Symbols that are not used internally or by libssl
-        No renaming is done.  In builds of libcrypto, the symbol
-        is marked as deprecated to detect unintentional use of such
-        a symbol, so that it can be marked as used going forward.
-        ex: LCRYPTO_UNUSED(SSL_CIPHER_get_name)
-
-Finally, to create the expected aliases, we use these in the .c files
-where the definitions are:
-   LCRYPTO_ALIAS(x)
-        This defines both x and _libre_x as strong aliases for _lcry_x.
-        Match uses of this with uses of LCRYPTO_USED()
-        ex: LCRYPTO_ALIAS(SSL_get_verify_mode)
