mbedtls_mpi_read_binary{,_le} (in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/4276)
and mbedtls_mpi_read_string (in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/4644)
changed their behavior on an empty input from constructing an MPI object with
one limb to not allocating a limb. In principle, this change should be
transparent to applications, however it caused a bug in the library and it does
affect the value when writing back out, so list the change in the changelog.

In Mbed TLS 2.26.0, the bug was hard to trigger, since all methods for
parsing a bignum (mbedtls_mpi_read_xxx functions) constructed an mbedtls_mpi
object with at least one limb.
In the development branch, after the commit
"New internal function mbedtls_mpi_resize_clear", this bug could be
triggered by a TLS server, by passing invalid custom Diffie-Hellman
parameters with G=0 transmitted as a 0-length byte string.
Since the behavior change in mbedtls_mpi_read_binary and
mbedtls_mpi_read_binary_le (constructing 0 limbs instead of 1 when passed
empty input) turned out to have consequences despite being in principle an
internal detail, mention it in the changelog.

- “Fix an issue where X happens” → ”Fix X“
the extra words are just a distraction.
- “resource” → “a resource”
- “where resource is never freed” has a name: it's a resource leak
- “when running one particular test suite” → “in a test suite”

Fix mbedtls_net_poll() and mbedtls_net_recv_timeout() often failing with
MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_POLL_FAILED on Windows: they were testing that the file
descriptor is in range for fd_set, but on Windows socket descriptors are not
limited to a small range. Fixes#4465.

The original formatting was in dos and the changelog
assembler would fail. The length of the description was
too long horizontally. This has been updated.

Rewrite mbedtls_debug_print_mpi to be simpler and smaller. Leverage
mbedtls_mpi_bitlen() instead of manually looking for the leading
zeros.
Fix#4608: the old code made an invalid memory dereference when
X->n==0 (freshly initialized bignum with the value 0).

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.

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.

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.

Add two functions mbedtls_dhm_get_len() and mbedtls_dhm_get_bitlen() to
query the length of the modulus in bytes or bits.
Remove the len field: the cost of calling mbedtls_dhm_get_len() each time
it's needed is negligible, and this improves the abstraction of the DHM
module.

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
check that prevents implementing MBEDTLS_TIMING_ALT on Mbed OS.
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.
Fixes#4633
