Security
* Unlike previously documented, enabling MBEDTLS_PSA_HMAC_DRBG_MD_TYPE does
not cause the PSA subsystem to use HMAC_DRBG: it uses HMAC_DRBG only when
MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG and MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C are disabled.

* Use HMAC_DRBG with the specified hash algorithm for HMAC_DRBG for the
* PSA crypto subsystem.
*
* If this option is unset:
* - If CTR_DRBG is available, the PSA subsystem uses it rather than HMAC_DRBG.
* - Otherwise, the PSA subsystem uses HMAC_DRBG with either
* #MBEDTLS_MD_SHA512 or #MBEDTLS_MD_SHA256 based on availability and
* on unspecified heuristics.
* If this option is unset, the library chooses a hash (currently between
* #MBEDTLS_MD_SHA512 and #MBEDTLS_MD_SHA256) based on availability and
* unspecified heuristics.
*
* \note The PSA crypto subsystem uses the first available mechanism amongst
* the following:
* - #MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG if enabled;
* - Entropy from #MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_C plus CTR_DRBG with AES
* if #MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C is enabled;
* - Entropy from #MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_C plus HMAC_DRBG.
*
* A future version may reevaluate the prioritization of DRBG mechanisms.
