The variable is a local variable for the i386 bignum assembly only;
introduce it as part of the start/finish macros.
It can be noted that the variable is initialize to 0 within MULADDC_INIT,
so there are no data dependencies across blocks of MULADDC_INIT/CORE/STOP.

This commit modifies programs/test/selftest to include a check that
none of the standard integer types (unsigned) [short, int, long, long]
uses padding bits, which we currently don't support.

time() is only needed to seed the PRNG non-deterministically. If it isn't
available, do seed it, but pick a static seed.

The timing module might include time.h on its own when on
a suitable platform, even if MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME is disabled.

Having such implementation might cause issues for those that
expect to have a working implementation.
Having a compile-time error is better in such case.

A previous commit has changed the signature of mpi_mul_hlp, making the length
of the output explicit. This commit adjusts mpi_montmul() accordingly.
It also fixes a comment on the required size of the temporary value
passed to mpi_montmul() (but does not change the call-sites).

A previous commit has changed the signature of mpi_mul_hlp(), making
the length of the output explicit.
This commit adjusts mbedtls_mpi_mul_int() to this change.
Along the way, we make the code simpler and more secure by not calculating
the minimal limb-size of A. A previous comment indicated that this was
functionally necessary because of the implementation of mpi_mul_hlp() --
if it ever was, it isn't anymore.

The previous commit has changed the signature of mpi_mul_hlp(),
making the length of the output explicit.
This commit adjusts the call-site in mbedtls_mpi_mul_mpi() to
this new signature.
A notable change to the multiplication strategy had to be made:
mbedtls_mpi_mul_mpi() performs a simple row-wise schoolbook
multiplication, which however was so far computed iterating
rows from top to bottom. This leads to the undesirable consequence
that as lower rows are calculated and added to the temporary
result, carry chains can grow. It is simpler and faster to
iterate from bottom to top instead, as it is guaranteed that
there will be no carry when adding the next row to the previous
temporary result: The length of the output in each iteration
can be fixed to len(B)+1.

The helper `mpi_mul_hlp()` performs a multiply-accumulate
operation `d += s * b`, where `d,b` are MPIs and `b` is a scalar.
Previously, only the length of `s` was specified, while `d` was
assumed to be 0-terminated of unspecified length.
This was leveraged at the end of the core multiplication steps
computingg the first `limb(s)` limbs of `d + s*b`: Namely, the
routine would keep on adding the current carry to `d` until none
was left. This can, in theory, run for an arbitrarily long time
if `d` has a tail of `0xFF`s, and hence the assumption of
`0`-termination.
This solution is both fragile and insecure -- the latter because
the carry-loop depends on the result of the multiplication.
This commit changes the signature of `mpi_mul_hlp()` to receive
the length of the output buffer, which must be greater or equal
to the length of the input buffer.
It is _not_ assumed that the output buffer is strictly larger
than the input buffer -- instead, the routine will simply return
any carry that's left. This will be useful in some applications
of this function. It is the responsibility of the caller to either
size the output appropriately so that no carry will be left, or
to handle the carry.
NOTE: The commit leaves the library in a state where it cannot
be compiled since the call-sites of mpi_mul_hlp() have
not yet been adjusted. This will be done in the subsequent
commits.
