Mbed OS now provides POSIX-like time functions, although not alarm() nor
signal(). It is possible to implement MBEDTLS_TIMING_ALT on Mbed OS, so
we should not artificially prevent this in check-config. Remove the the
check that prevents implementing MBEDTLS_TIMING_ALT on Mbed OS.
Note that this limitation originally was added in the following commit,
although there isn't much context around why the restriction was
imposed: 63e7ebaaa1 ("Add material for generating yotta module"). In
2015, Mbed OS was quite a different thing: no RTOS, no threads, just an
asynchronous event loop model. I'd suppose the asynchronous event loop
model made it difficult before to implement MBEDTLS_TIMING_C on Mbed OS,
but that is no longer the case.

Rewrite mbedtls_debug_print_mpi to be simpler and smaller. Leverage
mbedtls_mpi_bitlen() instead of manually looking for the leading
zeros.
Fix#4608: the old code made an invalid memory dereference when
X->n==0 (freshly initialized bignum with the value 0).

There was already a test case for 0 but with a non-empty representation
(X->n == 1). Add a test case with X->n == 0 (freshly initialized mpi).

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.

Calling mbedtls_mpi_cmp_int reveals the number of leading zero limbs
to an adversary who is capable of very fine-grained timing
measurements. This is very little information, but could be practical
with secp521r1 (1/512 chance of the leading limb being 0) if the
adversary can measure the precise timing of a large number of
signature operations.

The idiom "resize an mpi to a given size" appeared 4 times. Unify it
in a single function. Guarantee that the value is set to 0, which is
required by some of the callers and not a significant expense where
not required.

Since the internal function mpi_fill_random_internal() assumes that X
has the right size, there is no need to call grow().
To further simplify the function, set the sign outside, and zero out
the non-randomized part directly.

Note that this error has a negligible probability with a "crypto-sized"

In real life, min << N and the probability that mbedtls_mpi_random()
fails to find a suitable value after 30 iterations is less than one in
a billion. But at least for testing purposes, it's useful to not
outright reject "silly" small values of N, and for such values, 30
iterations is not enough to have a good probability of success.
Pick 250 iterations, which is enough for cases like (min=3, N=4), but
not for cases like (min=255, N=256).

Do more iterations with small values. This makes it more likely that a
mistake on bounds will be detected.

Slightly simplify is_significantly_above_a_power_of_2() to make it
easier to understand:
* Remove the explicit negative answer for x <= 4. The only functional
difference this makes is that is_significantly_above_a_power_of_2(3)
is now true.
* Shift the most significant bit of x to position 8 rather than 15.
This makes the final comparison easier to explain.

Add unit tests for mbedtls_mpi_fill_random() and mbedtls_mpi_random()
when the resulting MPI object previously had a nonzero value. I wrote
those to catch a bug that I introduced during the development of
mbedtls_mpi_random() (but does not appear in a committed version).

mbedtls_mpi_random() uses mbedtls_mpi_cmp_mpi_ct(), which requires its
two arguments to have the same storage size. This was not the case
when the upper bound passed to mbedtls_mpi_random() had leading zero
limbs.
Fix this by forcing the result MPI to the desired size. Since this is
not what mbedtls_mpi_fill_random() does, don't call it from
mbedtls_mpi_random(), but instead call a new auxiliary function.
Add tests to cover this and other conditions with varying sizes for
the two arguments.

(https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/issues/4245) with copy-pasted code,
use mbedtls_mpi_random().
