According to SP800-90A, the DRBG seeding process should use a nonce
of length `security_strength / 2` bits as part of the DRBG seed. It
further notes that this nonce may be drawn from the same source of
entropy that is used for the first `security_strength` bits of the
DRBG seed. The present HMAC DRBG implementation does that, requesting
`security_strength * 3 / 2` bits of entropy from the configured entropy
source in total to form the initial part of the DRBG seed.
However, some entropy sources may have thresholds in terms of how much
entropy they can provide in a single call to their entropy gathering
function which may be exceeded by the present HMAC DRBG implementation
even if the threshold is not smaller than `security_strength` bits.
Specifically, this is the case for our own entropy module implementation
which only allows requesting at most 32 Bytes of entropy at a time
in configurations disabling SHA-512, and this leads to runtime failure
of HMAC DRBG when used with Mbed Crypto' own entropy callbacks in such
configurations.
This commit fixes this by splitting the seed entropy acquisition into
two calls, one requesting `security_strength` bits first, and another
one requesting `security_strength / 2` bits for the nonce.
Fixes#237.
Avoid compiler errors when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_KEY_FILE_ID_ENCODES_OWNER
is set by using the application ID type.
[Error] psa_crypto_slot_management.c@175,9: used type 'psa_key_id_t' (aka 'psa_key_file_id_t') where arithmetic or pointer type is required
In psa_import_key, the key bits value was uninitialized before
calling the secure element driver import function. There is a
potential issue if the driver returns PSA_SUCCESS without setting
the key bits. This shouldn't happen, but shouldn't be discounted
either, so we initialize the key bits to an invalid issue.

ECP restart: Don't calculate address of sub ctx if ctx is NULL
Adopt a simple method for tracking whether there was a failure: each
fallible operation sets overall_status, unless overall_status is
already non-successful. Thus in case of multiple failures, the
function always reports whatever failed first. This may not always be
the right thing, but it's simple.
This revealed a bug whereby if the only failure was the call to
psa_destroy_se_key(), i.e. if the driver reported a failure or if the
driver lacked support for destroying keys, psa_destroy_key() would
ignore that failure.
For a key in a secure element, if creating a transaction file fails,
don't touch storage, but close the key in memory. This may not be
right, but it's no wronger than it was before. Tracked in
https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-crypto/issues/215
When a key slot is wiped, a copy of the key material may remain in
operations. This is undesirable, but does not violate the safety of
the code. Tracked in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-crypto/issues/86
