Reduce the default ECP window size

Browse Source 
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.

Changes
* Reduce the default value of MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE. This reduces RAM usage
during ECC operations at a negligible performance cost.
