Rose Zadik de2d6221c8 Improve ECDH documentation
- Rephrase file/function/parameter/enum/define/error descriptions into full
  and clear sentences.
- Make sure to adhere to the Arm writing guidelines.
- Fix missing/incorrect Doxygen tags.
- Standardize terminology used within the file.

* \brief The Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) protocol APIs.
*
* ECDH is an anonymous key agreement protocol allowing two parties to
* establish a shared secret over an insecure channel. Each party must have an
* elliptic-curve publicprivate key pair.
*
* For more information, see <em>NIST SP 800-56A Rev. 2: Recommendation for
* Pair-Wise Key Establishment Schemes Using Discrete Logarithm
* Cryptography</em>.
