PAKE protocols make use of a range of cryptographic schemes and
primitives. Standards allow for several options to use for each of them.
They call the combination of specific algorithms cipher suites,
configurations or options.
Cipher suites are represented by a separate data type for several
reasons:
1. To allow for individual PAKE protocols to provide pre-defined cipher
suites.
2. To organise cipher suites into a unit that can be handled separately
from the operation context. The PAKE operation flow is already
complex, will be even more so when key confirmation is added.
Handling them separately should reduce the surface of the interface
the application developer needs to pay attention at any given time.

In most of the PAKEs the primitives are prime order groups, but some of
them might need the ring structure or just are using completely different
algebraic structures (eg. SRP or PQC schemes).

When mbedtls_nist_kw_wrap was called with output=NULL and out_size=0, it
performed arithmetic on the null pointer before detecting that the output
buffer is too small and returning an error code. This was unlikely to have
consequences on real-world hardware today, but it is undefined behavior and
UBSan with Clang 10 flagged it. So fix it (fix#4025).
Fix a similar-looking pattern in unwrap, though I haven't verified that it's
reachable there.

MBEDTLS_ECP_FIXED_POINT_OPTIM aims to speed up ecc multiplication performance.
We compute the comb table in runtime now. It is a costly operation.
This patch add a pre-computed table to initialize well-known curves. It speed up ECDSA signature verify process in runtime by using more ROM size.

- the \internal note said that calling cipher_init() first would be made
mandatory later, but the documention of the ctx parameter already said
the context had to be initialized...
- the documentation was using the word initialize for two different
meanings (calling setup() vs calling init()), making the documentation
of the ctx parameter quite confusing (you must initialize before you can
initialize...)

Improve some length parameter descriptions, aligning
them with the descriptions for the one-shot
functions.
