Gaurav Aggarwal a9f64006ea Add support for const error description strings 
Problem
-------
mbedtls_strerror is a utility function which converts an mbedTLS error code
into a human readable string. It requires the caller to allocate a buffer every
time an error code needs to be converted to a string. It is an overkill and a
waste of RAM for resource constrained microcontrollers - where the most common
use case is to use these strings for logging.

Solution
--------
The proposed commit adds two functions:

* const char * mbedtls_high_level_strerr( int error_code );
* const char * mbedtls_low_level_strerr( int error_code );

The above two functions convert the high level and low level parts of an mbedTLS
error code to human readable strings. They return a const pointer to an
unmodifiable string which is not supposed to be modified by the caller and only
to be used for logging purposes. The caller no longer needs to allocate a
buffer.

Backward Compatibility
----------------------
The proposed change is completely backward compatible as it does not change
the existing mbedtls_strerror function and ensures that it continues to behave
the same way.

/**
* Error code layout.
*
* Currently we try to keep all error codes within the negative space of 16
* bits signed integers to support all platforms (-0x0001 - -0x7FFF). In
* addition we'd like to give two layers of information on the error if
* possible.
*
* For that purpose the error codes are segmented in the following manner:
*
* 16 bit error code bit-segmentation
*
* 1 bit - Unused (sign bit)
* 3 bits - High level module ID
* 5 bits - Module-dependent error code
* 7 bits - Low level module errors
*
* For historical reasons, low-level error codes are divided in even and odd,
* even codes were assigned first, and -1 is reserved for other errors.
*
