This commit continues the introduction of the MD digest implementation
abstraction layer given by `mbedtls_md_handle_t` by adding getter
functions returning the various properties of an implementation
(e.g. name, digest type, digest size). For the existing implementation,
these are just structure field accesses; however, in configurations
hardcoding the choice of a fixed digest algorithm, we'll be able to
implement them as inline functions returning compile-time constants.
As has been previously done for ciphersuites, this commit introduces
a zero-cost abstraction layer around the type
mbedtls_md_info const *
whose valid values represent implementations of message digest algorithms.
Access to a particular digest implementation can be requested by name or
digest ID through the API mbedtls_md_info_from_xxx(), which either returns
a valid implementation or NULL, representing failure.
This commit replaces such uses of `mbedtls_md_info const *` by an abstract
type `mbedtls_md_handle_t` whose valid values represent digest implementations,
and which has a designated invalid value MBEDTLS_MD_INVALID_HANDLE.
The purpose of this abstraction layer is to pave the way for builds which
support precisely one digest algorithm. In this case, mbedtls_md_handle_t
can be implemented as a two-valued type, with one value representing the
invalid handle, and the unique valid value representing the unique enabled
digest.
Cookies are fully opaque so we can change the hash used at any time, it's not
part of the API.
The cookie module handles truncation, so it's simpler to always use SHA-256
rather than check if SHA-224 is available.
No need to play tricks with macros and functions depending on whether
SHA256_SMALLER is enabled or not, with a static inline function all common
compilers (tested with arm-gcc, armcc5, arm-clang) will Do The Right Thing
depending on whether we told them to optimize for size or speed.
The TinyCrypt PK signature wrapper uses ASN.1 writing functions
for length and tag, accounting for the only dependency of the
baremetal build on ASN.1 writing.
Since all lengths to be encoded are below 128 Bytes and are hence
ASN.1 encoded as single Bytes, the dependency on ASN.1 writing can
be removed at low complexity by writing the length and tags directly.
Extend scope of TC in ECDH-param extraction from CRT
Previously, TinyCrypt was only used for ECDHE-ECDSA/RSA ciphersuites.
This commit is a step towards using it for _all_ ciphersuites involving
ECDHE (specifically: ECDHE, ECDHE-PSK, static ECDH), extending the scope
of the use of TinyCrypt in the writing of the ClientKeyExchange message.

mbedtls/ecp.h defines constants
MBEDTLS_ECP_PF_UNCOMPRESSED
MBEDTLS_ECP_PF_COMPRESSED
MBEDTLS_ECP_TLS_NAMED_CURVE
which regard the encoding of elliptic curves and curve point formats in TLS.
As such, they should be defined in the SSL namespace. Asides, this will help
replacing the legacy ECC crypto by alternative ECC implementations.
PEM-encoded keys with PEM header

-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----
were previously not parsed in configurations using TinyCrypt
instead of legacy ECC crypto.
The PK type MBEDTLS_PK_ECDSA is never returned from
`mbedtls_pk_info_from_type()`. Instead, EC keys either
are identified as MBEDTLS_PK_ECKEY_DH (in case they
must only be used for ECDHE) or MBEDTLS_PK_ECKEY (in
case they can be used for any algorithm).
