Gilles Peskine 6260b70717 mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs: fix buffer overflow in error case
Fix a buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when calculating
|A| - |B| where |B| is larger than |A| and has more limbs (so the
function should return MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_NEGATIVE_VALUE).

Fix #4042

* Fix a buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() when calculating
|A| - |B| where |B| is larger than |A| and has more limbs (so the
function should return MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_NEGATIVE_VALUE). Only
applications calling mbedtls_mpi_sub_abs() directly are affected:
all calls inside the library were safe since this function is
only called with |A| >= |B|. Reported by Guido Vranken in #4042.
