Removing reference to RFC 7748 as it is more confusing than helpful. (It
decodes the scalars after masking which is not part of the encoding we
want to specify. Also, it has the explanation what it means by little
endian in a preceding section that is not trivial to find.)
We also explicitly specify constraint on leading zeroes.

The expression "the masking is omitted" assumes familiarity with
Montgomery curve private key format and even then can be confusing and
ambiguous or confusing.
Describe directly what format we mean and add some more background
information and reference to the standard as well.

4-space indent is only guaranteed to result in a code block if there's a
blank line just before (details vary depending on the markdown
implementation, and doxygen isn't exactly markdown anyway). In a bullet
list, you need 8 spaces since the list itself is a nested construct
which takes a 4-space indent (even though you don't have to indent
continuation lines inside a bullet point by 4 spaces, 1 is enough).
Using \code...\encode which is rendering as intended.

This level of detail can be confusing and could require even more detail
to clear it up. Simplifying it instead in alignment wiht the
documentation of existing setup functions.

This reverts commit 03a5fd7780026b2ca0b4728352ded930f5a7cff9.
We're already calling the output of a PAKE a "shared secret". The
password is a shared secret (for PAKE where the verifier knows a
password-equivalent secret), but calling it "shared secret" or even just
"secret" would be confusing.

Technically this function takes a low entropy secret as an input which
might or might not be the password. Using the term "secret" in the
function name is less misleading.

The password stretching (using slow and/or memory hard hashes) in PAKEs
usually serves two purposes:
- Defending against server compromise impersonation attacks. J-PAKE is an
augmented PAKE and as such, stores a password-equivalent and defending
against this class of attacks is out of scope.
- Preventing offline dictionary attacks. J-PAKE is proven to be zero
knowledge and leaks no information beyond the fact if the passwords
matched and offline dictionary attack is not possible.
In summary: J-PAKE does not benefit from pasword stretching and is
unlikely to be an input. This part of the API is not necessary at this
point and can be added later.

We are not confident about the stability of the PAKE interface (it is
just a proposal, not part of the standard yet). So we should explicitly
document it as experimental, subject to change.

At this point this is a proposed PAKE interface for the PSA Crypto API
and not part of the official standard. Place the interface in
crypto_extra.h to make this clear.

The API has PSA_ALG_GCM and not PSA_ALG_AEAD_GCM, PSA_ALG_MD5 and not
PSA_ALG_HASH_MD5, etc., so PSA_ALG_PAKE_JPAKE should be PSA_ALG_JPAKE as
well.

The caller is likely to receive the inputs on the wire, and having a
known size for which they can confidently reject longer inputs would be
helpful in cases where the application can't just use the input in
place.

Define the size macros to 0 rather than empty. That will lead to fewer
weird errors when we start implementing.

This was diversely interpreted as "compatibility in the period between
two major version changes" (as intended) or "compatibility between two
versions whose major version is different" (unintended).
