CTR_DRBG: more consistent formatting and wording

In particular, don't use #MBEDTLS_xxx on macros that are undefined in
some configurations, since this would be typeset with a literal '#'.

* The Mbed TLS implementation of CTR_DRBG uses AES-256 (default) or AES-128
* as the underlying block cipher, with a derivation function. The security
* strength is:
* (if \c MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_USE_128_BIT_KEY is enabled at compile time)
* - 256 bits under the default configuration of the library, with AES-256
* (`MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_USE_128_BIT_KEY` not set) and
* with #MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN set to 48 or more.
* and with #MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN set to 48 or more.
* - 256 bits if AES-256 is used, #MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN is set
* to 32 or more, and the DRBG is initialized with an explicit
* nonce in the \c custom parameter to mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed().
* - 128 bits if AES-256 is used but #MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN is
* between 24 and 47 and the DRBG is not initialized with an explicit
* nonce (see mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed()).
* - 128 bits if AES-128 is used (`MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_USE_128_BIT_KEY` set)
* - 128 bits if AES-128 is used (\c MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_USE_128_BIT_KEY enabled)
* and #MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN is set to 24 or more (which is
* always the case unless it is explicitly set to a different value
* in `config.h`).
* in config.h).
*
* Note that the value of #MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN defaults to:
* - \c 48 if the module #MBEDTLS_SHA512_C is enabled and the symbol
* #MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_FORCE_SHA256 is not enabled at compile time.
* - \c 48 if the module \c MBEDTLS_SHA512_C is enabled and the symbol
* \c MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_FORCE_SHA256 is disabled at compile time.
