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.

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).
With TinyCrypt and legacy ECC mutually exclusive, we don't have
to use #if TINYCRYPT #else #if LEGACY #endif #endif anymore, but
can add the TC and legacy based ECC implementations independently.
- TinyCrypt uses `0` for errors.
- The first argument to uECC_verify() should be the public key,
but the previous code passed the beginning of the entire
private-public key structure.
The PK-type MBEDTLS_PK_ECDSA isn't really used by the library.
Especially, when parsing a generic EC key, a PK context of type
MBEDTLS_PK_ECKEY will be requested. Hence, to drop in TinyCrypt
for the legacy-ECC implementation, the PK type that TinyCrypt
implements must be MBEDTLS_PK_ECKEY.
The SSL context maintains a set of 'out pointers' indicating the
address at which to write the header fields of the next outgoing
record. Some of these addresses have a static offset from the
beginning of the record header, while other offsets can vary
depending on the active record encryption mechanism: For example,
if an explicit IV is in use, there's an offset between the end
of the record header and the beginning of the encrypted data to
allow the explicit IV to be placed in between; also, if the DTLS
Connection ID (CID) feature is in use, the CID is part of the
record header, shifting all subsequent information (length, IV, data)
to the back.
When setting up an SSL context, the out pointers are initialized
according to the identity transform + no CID, and it is important
to keep them up to date whenever the record encryption mechanism
changes, which is done by the helper function ssl_update_out_pointers().
During context deserialization, updating the out pointers according
to the deserialized record transform went missing, leaving the out
pointers the initial state. When attemping to encrypt a record in
this state, this lead to failure if either a CID or an explicit IV
was in use. This wasn't caught in the tests by the bad luck that
they didn't use CID, _and_ used the default ciphersuite based on
ChaChaPoly, which doesn't have an explicit IV. Changing either of
this would have made the existing tests fail.
This commit fixes the bug by adding a call to ssl_update_out_pointers()
to ssl_context_load() implementing context deserialization.
Extending test coverage is left for a separate commit.

The NO_INLINE annotation of tls_prf_sha256() and tls_prf_sha384() from
the last commit surprisingly had an influence on ARMC5 compilation in
that tls_prf_generic() was no longer automatically inlined into
tls_prf_sha256() if only the latter was enabled (and is the point
where tls_prf_generic() is called). This commit forces inlining
of tls_prf_generic() in this case.
Usually, compilers are clever enough to pick the best inlining
strategy, but in this instance, it appears that compiling on ARMC6,
the compilers inlines xxx_prf_yyy() and xxx_calc_finished_yyy()
even though it really shouldn't. Forbid inlining through the use
of __attribute__((noinline)).
Somehow, at least ARMC5 isn't able to recognize this automatically.
Since some of the arguments to ssl_populate_transform() are compile-
time constants in reduced configurations, inlining leads to slightly
shorter code.
