Fix SCA vulnerability when using PVK and MSBLOB key formats

This commit addresses a side-channel vulnerability present when
PVK and MSBLOB key formats are loaded into OpenSSL.
The public key was not computed using a constant-time exponentiation
function.

This issue was discovered and reported by the NISEC group at TAU Finland.
