compile time warning of 128bit ctr_drbg keys and standardized warnings

Browse Source 
a compile time print was added warning in case of 128bit ctr_drbg keys.
This was don't to avoid an actual warning in these cases
(making build with warnings as errors possible).
Additional warnings on the Changelog/headers were set to use the same phrasing
phrasing was approved by Gilles and Janos.

independently contributed again by Paul Sokolovsky.
* Add support for key wrapping modes based on AES as defined by
NIST SP 800-38F algorithms KW and KWP and by RFC 3394 and RFC 5649.
* Add support different keys sizes to CTR_CRBG. Note: using shorter keys
than 256 bit may decrease security.
* Add support for 128-bit keys in CTR_DRBG. Note that using keys shorter
than 256 bits limits the security of generated material to 128 bits.
Bugfix
* Fix the key_app_writer example which was writing a leading zero byte which
