Bugfix
   * Ensure that calling mbedtls_rsa_free() or mbedtls_entropy_free()
     twice is safe. This happens for RSA when some Mbed TLS library functions
     fail. Such a double-free was not safe when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C was
     enabled on platforms where freeing a mutex twice is not safe.
   * Fix a resource leak in a bad-arguments case of mbedtls_rsa_gen_key()
     when MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled on platforms where initializing
     a mutex allocates resources.

Default behavior changes
   * In mbedtls_rsa_context objects, the ver field was formerly documented
     as always 0. It is now reserved for internal purposes and may take
     different values.

Make entropy double-free work Although the library documentation does not guarantee that calling mbedtls_entropy_free() twice works, it's a plausible assumption and it's natural to write code that frees an object twice. While this is uncommon for an entropy context, which is usually a global variable, it came up in our own unit tests (random_twice tests in test_suite_random). Announce this in the same changelog entry as for RSA because it's the same bug in the two modules.
