Optimize fix_negative

Reduce the code size, stack consumption and heap consumption in
fix_negative by encoding the special-case subtraction manually.

* Code size: ecp_curves.o goes down from 7837B down to 7769 in a
  sample Cortex-M0 build with all curves enabled. The savings come
  from not having to set up C in INIT (which is used many times) and
  from not having to catch errors in fix_negative.
* Stack consumption: get rid of C on the stack.
* Heap: mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs with destination == second operand would
  make a heap allocation. The new code doesn't do any heap allocation.
* Performance: no measurable difference.
