MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE is a compromise between memory usage (growing based
on the value) and performance (faster with larger values). There are
disminishing returns as the value grows larger. Based on Manuel's benchmarks
recorded in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/4127, 4 is a good
compromise point, with larger values bringing little advantage. So reduce
the default from 6 to 4.
Document the default value as in optimized for performance mostly, but don't
document the specific value, so we may change it later or make it
platform-dependent.

This is necessary for the case where the public part of an EC keypair
needs to be computed from the private part - either because it was not
included (it's an optional component) or because it was compressed (a
format we can't parse).
This changes the API of two public functions: mbedtls_pk_parse_key() and
mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile().
Tests and programs have been adapted. Some programs use a non-secure RNG
(from the test library) just to get things to compile and run; in a

Mbed OS now provides POSIX-like time functions, although not alarm() nor
signal(). It is possible to implement MBEDTLS_TIMING_ALT on Mbed OS, so
we should not artificially prevent this in check-config. Remove the the

Note that this limitation originally was added in the following commit,
although there isn't much context around why the restriction was
imposed: 63e7ebaaa1 ("Add material for generating yotta module"). In
2015, Mbed OS was quite a different thing: no RTOS, no threads, just an
asynchronous event loop model. I'd suppose the asynchronous event loop
model made it difficult before to implement MBEDTLS_TIMING_C on Mbed OS,
but that is no longer the case.

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.

```
mbedtls_ssl_conf_ciphersuites_for_version()

for each supported version of SSL/TLS: SSL3, TLS 1.{0,1,2}.
With Mbed TLS 3.0, support for SSL3, TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1
is dropped. Moreover, upcoming TLS 1.3 support has a different
notion of cipher suite and will require a different API.
This means that it's only for TLS 1.2 that we require
a ciphersuite configuration API, and
```
mbedtls_ssl_conf_ciphersuites()

Using memory hard functions with PAKEs is the more secure option. It
should be as convenient and efficient to use as less secure options, but
so far it required creating an additional temporary key object.
With psa_pake_set_password_mhf() this eliminates the need for this.
Similarly we could add a convenience function to supply the password
directly from character strings, but that would make the less secure
option more convenient again and therfore we are not doing it now.

The main purpose of psa_pake_get_key_share() is to provide a more
straightforward and convenient call flow for regular PAKEs. Most PAKEs
have a single key share and need a flow like this:
op=PSA_PAKE_OPERATION_INIT;
psa_pake_setup();
psa_pake_get_key_share();
psa_pake_set_key_share();
psa_pake_get_implicit_key();
Adding psa_pake_get/set_key_share() functions cuts out the
psa_pake_data_t constants from the users vision, hiding complexity that
exists only for unrelated PAKEs that aren't relevant for the user.
This comes with the cost of the two additional API functions that we need
to maintain.
Since the current stream of work focuses on enabling J-PAKE, there are
no benefits to these functions for now.
Once algorithms that can benefit from this simplification are added,
adding back these functions can be reconsidered.

PAKE protocols make use of a range of cryptographic schemes and
primitives. Standards allow for several options to use for each of them.
They call the combination of specific algorithms cipher suites,
configurations or options.
Cipher suites are represented by a separate data type for several
reasons:
1. To allow for individual PAKE protocols to provide pre-defined cipher
suites.
2. To organise cipher suites into a unit that can be handled separately
from the operation context. The PAKE operation flow is already
complex, will be even more so when key confirmation is added.
Handling them separately should reduce the surface of the interface
the application developer needs to pay attention at any given time.
