Andrzej Kurek 86f30ff626 Reduce the default MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE value to 2
As tested in https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/6790,
after introducing side-channel counter-measures to bignum,
the performance of RSA decryption in correlation to the
MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE has changed.
The default value of 2 has been chosen as it provides best
or close-to-best results for tests on Cortex-M4 and Intel i7.

Changes
* Changed the default MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE from 6 to 2.
As tested in issue 6790, the correlation between this define and
RSA decryption performance has changed lately due to security fixes.
To fix the performance degradation when using default values the
window was reduced from 6 to 2, a value that gives the best or close
to best results when tested on Cortex-M4 and Intel i7.
