Calling mbedtls_mpi_cmp_int reveals the number of leading zero limbs
to an adversary who is capable of very fine-grained timing
measurements. This is very little information, but could be practical
with secp521r1 (1/512 chance of the leading limb being 0) if the
adversary can measure the precise timing of a large number of
signature operations.

The idiom "resize an mpi to a given size" appeared 4 times. Unify it
in a single function. Guarantee that the value is set to 0, which is
required by some of the callers and not a significant expense where
not required.

Since the internal function mpi_fill_random_internal() assumes that X
has the right size, there is no need to call grow().
To further simplify the function, set the sign outside, and zero out
the non-randomized part directly.

In real life, min << N and the probability that mbedtls_mpi_random()
fails to find a suitable value after 30 iterations is less than one in
a billion. But at least for testing purposes, it's useful to not
outright reject "silly" small values of N, and for such values, 30
iterations is not enough to have a good probability of success.
Pick 250 iterations, which is enough for cases like (min=3, N=4), but
not for cases like (min=255, N=256).

mbedtls_mpi_random() uses mbedtls_mpi_cmp_mpi_ct(), which requires its
two arguments to have the same storage size. This was not the case
when the upper bound passed to mbedtls_mpi_random() had leading zero
limbs.
Fix this by forcing the result MPI to the desired size. Since this is
not what mbedtls_mpi_fill_random() does, don't call it from
mbedtls_mpi_random(), but instead call a new auxiliary function.
Add tests to cover this and other conditions with varying sizes for
the two arguments.

Since mbedtls_mpi_random() is not specific to ECC code, move it from
the ECP module to the bignum module.
This increases the code size in builds without short Weierstrass
curves (including builds without ECC at all) that do not optimize out
unused functions.

Move the handling of the sign out of the base-specific loops. This
both simplifies the code, and corrects an edge case: the code in the
non-hexadecimal case depended on mbedtls_mpi_mul_int() preserving the
sign bit when multiplying a "negative zero" MPI by an integer, which
used to be the case but stopped with PR #2512.
Fix#4295. Thanks to Guido Vranken for analyzing the cause of the bug.

Fix a buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when calculating

T1 is set to a 2-limb value. The first operation that takes it as
input is mbedtls_mpi_mul_int, which makes it grow to 3 limbs. Later it
is shifted left, which causes it to grow again. Set its size to the
final size from the start. This saves two calls to calloc(), at the
expense of a slowdown in some operations involving T1 as input since
it now has more leading zeros.
Setting T1 to 3 limbs initially instead of 2 saves about 6% of the
calloc() calls in test_suite_ecp and does not incur a performance
penalty. Setting T1 to A->n + 2 limbs instead of 2 saves about 20% of
the calloc calls and does not cause a measurable performance
difference on my Linux PC.

Note a possible microoptimization in mbedtls_mpi_mul_hlp that I tried
in the hope of reducing the number of allocations, but turned out to
be counterproductive.

Rewrite mbedtls_mpi_mul_int to call mpi_mul_hlp directly rather than
create a temporary mpi object. This has the benefit of not performing
an allocation when the multiplication is in place (mpi operand aliased
with the result) and the result mpi is large enough.
This saves about 40% of the calloc() calls in test_suite_ecp. There is
no measurable performance difference on my Linux PC.
The cost is a few bytes in bignum.o.
When there is no aliasing, or when there is aliasing but the mpi
object needs to be enlarged, the performance difference is negligible.

mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs systematically allocated a new mpi when the result
was aliased with the right operand (i.e. X = A - X). This aliasing
very commonly happens during ECP operations. Rewrite the function to
allocate only if the result might not fit otherwise.
This costs a few bytes of code size in bignum.o, and might make
mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs very very slightly slower when no reallocation is
done. However, there is a substantial performance gain in ECP
operations with Montgomery curves (10-20% on my PC).
test_suite_ecp drops from 1422794 to 1271506 calls to calloc().
This commit also fixes a bug whereby mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs would leak
memory when X == B (so TB was in use) and the result was negative.

The function mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs first checked that A >= B and then
performed the subtraction, relying on the fact that A >= B to
guarantee that the carry propagation would stop, and not taking
advantage of the fact that the carry when subtracting two numbers can
only be 0 or 1. This made the carry propagation code a little hard to
follow.
Write an ad hoc loop for the carry propagation, checking the size of
the result. This makes termination obvious.
The initial check that A >= B is no longer needed, since the function
now checks that the carry propagation terminates, which is equivalent.
This is a slight performance gain.

There was some confusion during review about when A->p[n] could be
nonzero. In fact, there is no need to set A->p[n]: only the
intermediate result d might need to extend to n+1 limbs, not the final
result A. So never access A->p[n]. Rework the explanation of the
calculation in a way that should be easier to follow.

The function mpi_sub_hlp had confusing semantics: although it took a
size parameter, it accessed the limb array d beyond this size, to
propagate the carry. This made the function difficult to understand
and analyze, with a potential buffer overflow if misused (not enough
room to propagate the carry).
Change the function so that it only performs the subtraction within
the specified number of limbs, and returns the carry.
Move the carry propagation out of mpi_sub_hlp and into its caller
mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs. This makes the code of subtraction very slightly
less neat, but not significantly different.
In the one other place where mpi_sub_hlp is used, namely mpi_montmul,
this is a net win because the carry is potentially sensitive data and
the function carefully arranges to not have to propagate it.

mpi_sub_hlp performs a subtraction A - B, but took parameters in the
order (B, A). Swap the parameters so that they match the usual
mathematical syntax.
This has the additional benefit of putting the output parameter (A)
first, which is the normal convention in this module.

In mpi_montmul, an auxiliary function for modular
exponentiation (mbedtls_mpi_mod_exp) that performs Montgomery
multiplication, the last step is a conditional subtraction to force
the result into the correct range. The current implementation uses a
branch and therefore may leak information about secret data to an
adversary who can observe what branch is taken through a side channel.
Avoid this potential leak by always doing the same subtraction and
doing a contant-trace conditional assignment to set the result.

This reverts commit 2cc69fffcf.
A check was added in mpi_montmul because clang-analyzer warned about a
possibly null pointer. However this was a false positive. Recent
versions of clang-analyzer no longer emit a warning (3.6 does, 6
doesn't).
Incidentally, the size check was wrong: mpi_montmul needs
T->n >= 2 * (N->n + 1), not just T->n >= N->n + 1.
Given that this is an internal function which is only used from one
public function and in a tightly controlled way, remove both the null
check (which is of low value to begin with) and the size check (which
would be slightly more valuable, but was wrong anyway). This allows
the function not to need to return an error, which makes the source
code a little easier to read and makes the object code a little
smaller.

If Y was constructed through functions in this module, then Y->n == 0
iff Y->p == NULL. However we do not prevent filling mpi structures
manually, and zero may be represented with n=0 and p a valid pointer.
Most of the code can cope with such a representation, but for the
source of mbedtls_mpi_copy, this would cause an integer underflow.
Changing the test for zero from Y->p==NULL to Y->n==0 causes this case
to work at no extra cost.
