In a USENIX WOOT '16 paper the authors warn about a security risk
of random Initialisation Vectors (IV) repeating values.
The MBEDTLS_SSL_AEAD_RANDOM_IV feature is affected by this risk and
it isn't compliant with RFC5116. Furthermore, strictly speaking it
is a different cipher suite from the TLS (RFC5246) point of view.
Removing the MBEDTLS_SSL_AEAD_RANDOM_IV feature to resolve the above
problems.

In a USENIX WOOT '16 paper the authors exploit implementation
mistakes that cause Initialisation Vectors (IV) to repeat. This
did not happen in mbed TLS, and this test makes sure that this
won't happen in the future either.
A new test option is introduced to ssl-opt.sh that checks the server
and client logs for a pattern and fails in case there are any
duplicates in the lines following the matching ones. (This is
necessary because of the structure of the logging)
Added a test case as well to utilise the new option. This test forces
the TLS-ECDHE-ECDSA-WITH-AES-256-GCM-SHA384 ciphersuite to make the
client and the server use an AEAD cipher.

The PKCS#1 standard says nothing about the relation between P and Q
but many libraries guarantee P>Q and mbed TLS did so too in earlier
versions.
This commit restores this behaviour.
Fix implementation and documentation missmatch for the function
arguments to mbedtls_gcm_finish(). Also, removed redundant if condition
that always evaluates to true.
The sample applications programs/pkey/cert_req.c and
programs/pkey/cert_write.c use the library functions mbedtls_pk_write_csr_pem()
and mbedtls_pk_write_crt_pem() respectively and programs/pkey/gen_key.c uses
the library function mbedtls_pk_write_key_pem().
These are dependent on the configuration option POLARSSL_PEM_WRITE_C. If the
option isn't defined the build breaks.
This change adds the compilation condition POLARSSL_PEM_WRITE_C to these
sample applications.
* Fix crypt_and_hash to support decrypting GCM encrypted files
* Fix documentation in crypt_and_hash for the generic case
* Remove unused lastn from crypt_and_hash
lastn is not used with the cipher layer as it already provides padding
and understanding of length of the original data.
Backport of fix by Paul Bakker.
Fix an issue that caused valid certificates being rejected whenever an
expired or not yet valid version of the trusted certificate was before the
valid version in the trusted certificate list.
The certificates are not valid according to the RFC, but are in wide
distribution across the internet. Hence the request to add a
compile-time flag to accept these certificates if wanted by the
application.
If POLARSSL_RELAXED_X509_DATE is enabled it will allow dates without
seconds, and allow dates with timezones (but doesn't actually use
the timezone).
Patch provided by OpenVPN.
The server code parses the client hello extensions even when the
protocol is SSLv3 and this behaviour is non compliant with rfc6101.
Also the server sends extensions in the server hello and omitting
them may prevent interoperability problems.
