Document and test the current behavior, even if it is weird:
* For Weierstrass keys, the error is MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL,
not MBEDTLS_ERR_ECP_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL.
* For Weierstrass keys, a smaller output buffer is ok if the output fits.

When exporting a key, MBEDTLS_ERR_ECP_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE should not happen.
This error indicates that the curve is not supported, but that would prevent
the creation of the key.

The official spelling of the trade mark changed from all-lowercase "mbed"
to normal proper noun capitalization "Mbed" a few years ago. We've been
using the new spelling in new text but still have the old spelling in a
lot of text. This commit updates most occurrences of "mbed TLS":
```
sed -i -e 's/mbed TLS/Mbed TLS/g' $(git ls-files ':!ChangeLog' ':!tests/data_files/**' ':!tests/suites/*.data' ':!programs/x509/*' ':!configs/tfm*')
```
Justification for the omissions:
* `ChangeLog`: historical text.
* `test/data_files/**`, `tests/suites/*.data`, `programs/x509/*`: many
occurrences are significant names in certificates and such. Changing
the spelling would invalidate many signatures and tests.
* `configs/tfm*`: this is an imported file. We'll follow the upstream
updates.

Now that descriptions of error codes no longer have to be on the same line
for the sake of generate_errors.pl, move them to their own line before the
definition. This aligns them with what we do for other definitions, and
means that we no longer need to have very long lines containing both the C
definition and the comment.
```
perl -i -pe 's~^(#define +MBEDTLS_ERR_\w+ +-\w+) */\*[*!]<(.*)\*/~/**$2*/\n$1~' include/mbedtls/*.h
```
This commit does not change the output of generate_errors.pl.

MBEDTLS_ECP_MAX_BITS is now determined automatically from the configured
curves and no longer needs to be configured explicitly to save RAM. Setting
it explicit in config.h is still supported for backward compatibility.

We stated that curves were listed "in order of preference", but we never
explained what the preference was, so this was not meaningful.

MBEDTLS_ECP_WINDOW_SIZE is a compromise between memory usage (growing based
on the value) and performance (faster with larger values). There are
disminishing returns as the value grows larger. Based on Manuel's benchmarks
recorded in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/4127, 4 is a good
compromise point, with larger values bringing little advantage. So reduce
the default from 6 to 4.
Document the default value as in optimized for performance mostly, but don't
document the specific value, so we may change it later or make it
platform-dependent.

As a result, the copyright of contributors other than Arm is now
acknowledged, and the years of publishing are no longer tracked in the

Also remove the now-redundant lines declaring that the files are part of

Document that mbedtls_ecp_muladd and mbedtls_ecp_muladd_restartable
are only implemented on short Weierstrass curves.
Exclude these functions at build time if no short Weierstrass curve
is included in the build. Before, these functions failed to compile in
such a configuration.

mbedtls_ecp_write_key is a mirror function to mbedtls_ecp_read_key, which
writes a private key back into a byte buffer in the correct format.
This is a helpful convenience function, since the byte order is defined
differently between Montgomery and Weierstrass curves. Since this difference
is accounted for in mbedtls_ecp_read_key, it made sense to add
mbedtls_ecp_write_key for the purpose of abstracting this away such that
psa_export_key doesn't need to take byte order into account.

Document that a curve returned by mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() or
mbedtls_ecp_grp_id_list() may lack support for ECDH or ECDSA.
Add a corresponding changelog entry, under "API Changes" because we
have changed the behavior: formerly, these functions skipped ECDH-only
curves, although this was not documented.
To help the build system find the correct include files, paths starting
with "mbedtls/" or "psa/" must be used. Otherwise, you can run into
build failures like the following when building Mbed Crypto as a
submodule.
In file included from chachapoly.c:31:0:
../../include/mbedtls/chachapoly.h:43:10: fatal error: poly1305.h: No such file or directory
#include "poly1305.h"
^~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
Includes for ALT implementations are not modified, as the alt headers
are provided by system integrators and not Mbed TLS or Mbed Crypto.
Resolve conflicts actions:
- Reject path changes to config.h
- Reject submodule-related changes in build scripts (Makefile,
CMakeLists.txt)
- Add oid test suite to list of tests in tests/CMakeLists.txt,
rejecting any test filtering related changes (which TLS uses to avoid
duplicating crypto tests)
- Add legacy ECDH test to all.sh without including
all.sh tests that depend on SSL
The ecp_get_type function comes handy in higher level modules and tests
as well. It is not inline anymore, to enable alternative implementations
to implement it for themselves.
mbedtls_ecp_read_key() module returned without an error even when
importing keys corresponding to the requested group was not
implemented.
We change this and return an error when the requested group is not
supported and make the remaining import/export functions more robust.
The private keys used in ECDH differ in the case of Weierstrass and
Montgomery curves. They have different constraints, the former is based
on big endian, the latter little endian byte order. The fundamental
approach is different too:
- Weierstrass keys have to be in the right interval, otherwise they are
rejected.
- Any byte array of the right size is a valid Montgomery key and it
needs to be masked before interpreting it as a number.
Historically it was sufficient to use mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() to read
private keys, but as a preparation to improve support for Montgomery
curves we add mbedtls_ecp_read_key() to enable uniform treatment of EC
keys.
For the masking the `mbedtls_mpi_set_bit()` function is used. This is
suboptimal but seems to provide the best trade-off at this time.
Alternatives considered:
- Making a copy of the input buffer (less efficient)
- removing the `const` constraint from the input buffer (breaks the api
and makes it less user friendly)
- applying the mask directly to the limbs (violates the api between the
modules and creates and unwanted dependency)
Additional changes to temporarily enable running tests:
ssl_srv.c and test_suite_ecdh use mbedtls_ecp_group_load instead of
mbedtls_ecdh_setup
test_suite_ctr_drbg uses mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update instead of
mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update_ret
As there are some definitions that are defined regardless of
whether MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE is defined or not, these definitions
need to be moved outside the MBEDTLS_ECP_ALT guards. This is a simple
move as MBEDTLS_ECP_ALT and MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE are mutually
exclusive options.
Add inclusion to configration file in header files,
instead of relying on other header files to include
the configuration file. This issue resolves#1371
