Improve the formatting and writing of the documentation based on what
had been done for CTR_DRBG.
Document the maximum size and nullability of some buffer parameters.
Document that a derivation function is used.
Document the security strength of the DRBG depending on the
compile-time configuration and how it is set up. In particular,
document how the nonce specified in SP 800-90A is set.
Mention how to link the ctr_drbg module with the entropy module.
* State explicit whether several numbers are in bits or bytes.
* Clarify whether buffer pointer parameters can be NULL.
* Explain the value of constants that are dependent on the configuration.
Add a parameter to the p_validate_slot_number method to allow the
driver to modify the persistent data.
With the current structure of the core, the persistent data is already
updated. All it took was adding a way to modify it.
When registering a key in a secure element, go through the transaction
mechanism. This makes the code simpler, at the expense of a few extra
storage operations. Given that registering a key is typically very
rare over the lifetime of a device, this is an acceptable loss.
Drivers must now have a p_validate_slot_number method, otherwise
registering a key is not possible. This reduces the risk that due to a
mistake during the integration of a device, an application might claim
a slot in a way that is not supported by the driver.
Define a vendor-range within the the private use ranges in the IANA
registry. Provide recommendations for how to support vendor-defined
curves and groups.
If none of the inputs to a key derivation is a
PSA_KEY_DERIVATION_INPUT_SECRET passed with
psa_key_derivation_input_key(), forbid
psa_key_derivation_output_key(). It usually doesn't make sense to
derive a key object if the secret isn't itself a proper key.
Allow a direct input as the SECRET input step in a key derivation, in
addition to allowing DERIVE keys. This makes it easier for
applications to run a key derivation where the "secret" input is
obtained from somewhere else. This makes it possible for the "secret"
input to be empty (keys cannot be empty), which some protocols do (for
example the IV derivation in EAP-TLS).
Conversely, allow a RAW_DATA key as the INFO/LABEL/SALT/SEED input to a key
derivation, in addition to allowing direct inputs. This doesn't
improve security, but removes a step when a personalization parameter
is stored in the key store, and allows this personalization parameter
to remain opaque.
Add test cases that explore step/key-type-and-keyhood combinations.

* Change PERL to PYTHON in CMakeLists.txt.
Keys of size 0 generally don't make sense: a key is supposed to be
secret. There is one edge case which is "raw data" keys, which are
useful to store non-key objects in the same storage location as keys.
However those are also problematic because they involve a zero-length
buffer. Manipulating zero-length buffers in C requires special cases
with functions like malloc() and memcpy(). Additionally, 0 as a key
size already has a meaning "unspecified", which does not always
overlap seamlessly with the meaning "0".
Therefore, forbid keys of size 0. No implementation may accept them.

Enable MBEDTLS_MEMORY_DEBUG in memory buffer alloc test in all.sh
Remove unnecessary memory buffer alloc unsets
Disable DTLS proxy tests for MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC test
all.sh: restructure memory allocator tests
Add missing dependency in memory buffer alloc set in all.sh
Don't set MBEDTLS_MEMORY_DEBUG through `scripts/config.pl full`
Add cfg dep MBEDTLS_MEMORY_DEBUG->MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C

Add all.sh run with full config and ASan enabled
Add all.sh run with MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C enabled
Update documentation of exceptions for `config.pl full`
Adapt all.sh to removal of buffer allocator from full config
Disable memory buffer allocator in full config
Check dependencies of MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BACKTRACE in check_config.h
Clarify how key creation functions use attributes. Explain the meaning
of attribute values, espcially what 0 means in each field where it has
a special meaning. Explain what an algorithm usage policy can be (an
algorithm, a wildcard with ANY_HASH, or 0).
Make client_random and server_random const in
mbedtls_ssl_export_keys_ext_t, so that the key exporter is discouraged
from modifying the client/server hello.
Update examples and tests use const for hello.random as well, to ensure
that the export callbacks are of the proper type.
Fixes#2759
Document how mbedtls_asn1_store_named_data allocates val.p in the new
or modified entry.
Change the behavior to be more regular, always setting the new length
to val_len. This does not affect the previous documented behavior
since this aspect was not documented. This does not affect current
usage in Mbed TLS's X.509 module where calls with the same OID always
use the same size for the associated value.
Document preconditions on parameters, values changed through pointers,
and error codes.
This commit leaves some issues regarding integers (especially negative
integers) open, because we don't have a policy decision on how to
handle them yet.
