TLS used to prefer larger curves, under the idea that a larger curve has a
higher security strength and is therefore harder to attack. However, brute
force attacks are not a practical concern, so this was not particularly
meaningful. If a curve is considered secure enough to be allowed, then we
might as well use it.
So order curves by resource usage. The exact definition of what this means
is purposefully left open. It may include criteria such as performance and
memory usage. Risk of side channels could be a factor as well, although it
didn't affect the current choice.
The current list happens to exactly correspond to the numbers reported by
one run of the benchmark program for "full handshake/s" on my machine.

library/ecp_alt.h (declaring individual functions of the ECP module that can
be substituted, included when building the library with
MBEDTLS_ECP_INTERNAL_ALT enabled) clashes with ecp_alt.h (not provided,
declaring types of the ECP module when the whole implementation is
substituted, included when building the library with MBEDTLS_ECP_ALT enabled).
Depending on the search path during build, this can make MBEDTLS_ECP_ALT
unusable.

The `get_entropy` entry point can be provided by multiple transparent

Transparent drivers may provide a DRBG interface through "add_entropy"

When importing a key, the code that parses the input needs to
determine the key size ("bits" attribute). This is specific to import
since other key creation methods require the caller to supply a size.
Therefore, add an extra output parameter `bits` to the "import_key"
entry point for opaque drivers. Likewise, add a `bits` output
parameter to the "validate_key" entry point for transparent drivers.

With PSA crypto v1.0.0, a volatile key identifier may
contain a owner identifier but no file is associated
to it. Thus rename the type psa_key_file_id_t to
mbedtls_svc_key_id_t to avoid a direct link with a
file when a key identifier involves an owner
identifier.
The new type name is prefixed by mbedtls to highlight
that the type is specific to Mbed TLS implementation
and not defined in the PSA Cryptography API
specification.
The svc in the type name stands for service as this
is the key identifier type from the point of view of
the service providing the Cryptography services.
The service can be completely provided by the present
library or partially in case of a multi-client service.
As a consequence rename as well:
. MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_KEY_FILE_ID_ENCODES_OWNER to
MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_KEY_ID_ENCODES_OWNER
. PSA_KEY_ID_INIT to MBEDTLS_SVC_KEY_ID_INIT

The existing description of the syntax of capabilities also describes
the semantics of each property, but the semantics of the capability as
a whole is not immediately clear. Add a subsection that explains
precisely when a capability is applicable.
Signed-off-by: Gilles Peskine <Gilles.Peskine@arm.com>
Inferring entry points from algorithms is nice in that it makes
capability specifications shorter and less redundant, but that's not
really important. It also makes capabilities more fragile: if the core
starts supporting new mechanisms based on the same algorithm (for
example, adding hash-and-sign when only sign-the-hash existed before),
a driver only supporting the old mechanisms would fail at build time.
So make entry points mandatory.
This has the benefit of making the semantics of capabilities easier to
describe.

generate_key is a more classical name. The longer name was only

Generators are mostly about key derivation (currently: only about key
derivation). "Generator" is not a commonly used term in cryptography.
So favor "derivation" as terminology. Call a generator a key
derivation operation structure, since it behaves like other multipart
operation structures. Furthermore, the function names are not fully
consistent.
