Matthias St. Pierre f1e0c94545 internal/common.h: rename macro (un)likely to ossl_(un)likely
The macro was introduced in commit ed6dfd1e36 without an
openssl-specific prefix as mandated by the coding style.

* Essentially it boils down to incrementally generating a fixed point
* number on the interval [0, 1) and multiplying this number by the upper
* range limit. Once it is certain what the fractional part contributes to
* the integral part of the product, the algorithm has produced a definitive
* result.

* Refer: https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/39143 for a fuller description
* of the algorithm.
