mbedtls_mpi_write_binary: don't leak the exact size of the number

In mbedtls_mpi_write_binary, avoid leaking the size of the number
through timing or branches, if possible. More precisely, if the number
fits in the output buffer based on its allocated size, the new code's
trace doesn't depend on the value of the number.
