Since mbedtls_mpi_random() is not specific to ECC code, move it from
the ECP module to the bignum module.
This increases the code size in builds without short Weierstrass
curves (including builds without ECC at all) that do not optimize out
unused functions.

Rename mbedtls_ecp_gen_privkey_sw to mbedtls_mpi_random since it has
no particular connection to elliptic curves beyond the fact that its
operation is defined by the deterministic ECDSA specification. This is
a generic function that generates a random MPI between 1 inclusive and
N exclusive.
Slightly generalize the function to accept a different lower bound,
which adds a negligible amount of complexity.

For Montgomery keys, n_bits is actually the position of the highest
bit and not the number of bits, which would be 1 more (fence vs
posts). Rename the variable accordingly to lessen the confusion.
No semantic change.

Put the Montgomery and short Weierstrass implementations of
mbedtls_ecp_gen_privkey into their own function which can be tested
independently, but will not be part of the public ABI/API.

This header file will contain declarations of functions that are not
part of the public ABI/API, and must not be called from other modules,
but can be called from unit tests.
