Add exponent blinding to RSA without CRT

The sliding window exponentiation algorithm is vulnerable to
side-channel attacks. As a countermeasure we add exponent blinding in
order to prevent combining the results of fifferent measurements.

This commits handles the case when the Chinese Remainder Theorem is NOT
used to accelerate computations.

/*
* Exponent blinding supposed to prevent side-channel attacks using multiple
* traces of measurements to recover the RSA key. The more collisions are there,
* the more bits of the key can be recovered. See [3].
*
* Collecting n collisions with m bit long blinding value requires 2^(m-m/n)
* observations on avarage.
*
* For example with 28 byte blinding to achieve 2 collisions the adversary has
* to make 2^112 observations on avarage.
*
* (With the currently (as of 2017 April) known best algorithms breaking 2048
* bit RSA requires approximately as much time as trying out 2^112 random keys.
* Thus in this sense with 28 byte blinding the security is not reduced by
* side-channel attacks like the one in [3])
*
* This countermeasure does not help if the key recovery is possible with a
* single trace.
