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.

PAKE constructions that have multiple key shares will always consume and
produce the key shares in numerical order. So using PSA_PAKE_DATA_XXX_X
would demand step-sequence validation, and provides no functional
utility over having only PSA_PAKE_DATA_XXX.

If PSA_PAKE_OUTPUT_SIZE takes cipher_suite as a parameter and it is a
structure it can't be a compile-time constant anymore.
Reintroducing psa_pake_primitive_t, because it can be constructed as an
integral type and holds enough information to allow PSA_PAKE_OUTPUT_SIZE
calculating accurate estimates on the output size in compile time.

There are too many parameters to the setup function. This makes it hard
to figure out how to call the function and read code that calls the
function. This also opens the suspicion that there's yet another
parameter that we're missing.

"Data" is too vague, renaming it to psa_pake_step_t. It is still
somewhat vague, but at least consistent with the naming used in key

__DOXYGEN_ONLY__ blocks were only used to typeset the PSA specification
back when it was extracted from Mbed TLS headers. They are no longer
used and should be removed.
The PSA Crypto Driver API is still under development and might be
extracted from Mbed TLS headers, leaving them there for now.

It is the size of something that has no a priori reason to consist of 8
bits. This should be psa_pake_family_t, both for documentation (and
possibly static analysis) and in case 8 bits turn out not to be enough.

Hiding the structure of the cipher suite implementation allows for

To preserve maximum flexibility, the constructor is replaced by

There were remnants of the PSA specification wording in the
documentation that can be confusing in Mbed TLS.
We need to make it clear what the consequences of being implementation

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.

In most of the PAKEs the primitives are prime order groups, but some of
