Add unit tests for private key generation on short Weierstrass curves.
These tests validate that the result is within the desired range.
Additionally, they validate that after performing many iterations, the
range is covered to an acceptable extent: for tiny ranges, all values
must be reached; for larger ranges, all value bits must reach both 0
and 1.

mbedtls_ecp_gen_privkey_mx generates a random number with a certain
top bit set. Depending on the size, it would either generate a number
with that top bit being random, then forcibly set the top bit to
1 (when high_bit is not a multiple of 8); or generate a number with
that top bit being 0, then set the top bit to 1 (when high_bit is a
multiple of 8). Change it to always generate the top bit randomly
first.
This doesn't make any difference in practice: the probability
distribution is the same either way, and no supported or plausible
curve has a size of the form 8n+1 anyway. But it slightly simplifies
reasoning about the behavior of this function.

Don't calculate the bit-size of the initially generated random number.
This is not necessary to reach the desired distribution of private
keys, and creates a (tiny) side channel opportunity.
This changes the way the result is derived from the random number, but
does not affect the resulting distribution.

The library rejected an RNG input of all-bits-zero, which led to the
key 2^{254} (for Curve25519) having a 31/32 chance of being generated
compared to other keys. This had no practical impact because the
probability of non-compliance was 2^{-256}, but needlessly
complicated the code.
The exception was added in 98e28a74e3 to
avoid the case where b - 1 wraps because b is 0. Instead, change the
comparison code to avoid calculating b - 1.

Test the exact output from known RNG input. This is overly
constraining, but ensures that the code has good properties.

If a fallback is not explicitly configured in the
mbedtls_test_rnd_buf_info structure, fail after the buffer is
exhausted.
There is no intended behavior change in this commit: all existing uses
of mbedtls_test_rnd_buffer_rand() have been updated to set
mbedtls_test_rnd_std_rand as the fallback.

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.

When mbedtls_nist_kw_wrap was called with output=NULL and out_size=0, it
performed arithmetic on the null pointer before detecting that the output
buffer is too small and returning an error code. This was unlikely to have
consequences on real-world hardware today, but it is undefined behavior and
UBSan with Clang 10 flagged it. So fix it (fix#4025).
Fix a similar-looking pattern in unwrap, though I haven't verified that it's
reachable there.

MBEDTLS_ECP_FIXED_POINT_OPTIM aims to speed up ecc multiplication performance.
We compute the comb table in runtime now. It is a costly operation.
This patch add a pre-computed table to initialize well-known curves. It speed up ECDSA signature verify process in runtime by using more ROM size.
