And on the subject of `TerminateProcess()` being asynchronous:

The assembler already knows the actual path to the generated file and,
in other perlasm architectures, is left to manage debug symbols itself.
Notably, in OpenSSL 1.1.x's new build system, which allows a separate
build directory, converting .pl to .s as the scripts currently do result
in the wrong paths.
This also avoids inconsistencies from some of the files using $0 and
some passing in the filename.

This reverts commit 9c1a9ccf65.
TerminateProcess is asynchronous, so the code as written in the above
commit is not correct. It is also probably not needed in the speed
case. Reverting in order to figure out the correct solution.

This gets rid of the BEGINRAW..ENDRAW sections in crypto/build.info.
This also moves the assembler generating perl scripts to take the
