For TLS, secp256k1 is deprecated by RFC 8422 §5.1.1. For X.509,
secp256k1 is not deprecated, but it isn't used in practice, especially
in the context of TLS where there isn't much point in having an X.509
certificate which most peers do not support. So remove it from the
default profile. We can add it back later if there is demand.

Meld the migration guide for the removal of
MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1_IN_CERTIFICATES into the migration guide for
the strengthening of TLS and X.509 defaults, which is more general. The
information in the SHA-1 section was largely already present in the
strengthening section. It is now less straightforward to figure out how to
enable SHA-1 in certificates, but that's a good thing, since no one should
still be doing this in 2021.

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.

Merge part of the RSA entries into this one, as I think it's easier for
users to have all similar changes in one place regardless of whether
they were introduce in the same PR or not.

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.
Rename library/ecp_alt.h to follow the naming convention of other alt headers:
MBEDTLS_XXX_ALT corresponds to xxx_alt.h.
