The lazy-initialisation of BN_MONT_CTX was serialising all threads, as
noted by Daniel Sands and co at Sandia. This was to handle the case that
2 or more threads race to lazy-init the same context, but stunted all
scalability in the case where 2 or more threads are doing unrelated
things! We favour the latter case by punishing the former. The init work
gets done by each thread that finds the context to be uninitialised, and
we then lock the "set" logic after that work is done - the winning
thread's work gets used, the losing threads throw away what they've done.

Even though the meat of dso_vms.c is compiled out on non-VMS builds,
the (pre-)compiler still traverses some of the macro handling. This
trips up at least one non-VMS build configuration, so this commit
makes the skip-VMS case more robust.

Newer pod2man considers =item [1-9] part of a numbered list, while =item
0 starts an unnumbered list. Add a zero effect formatting mark to override
this.

When looking for an extension we need to set the last found
position to -1 to properly search all extensions.

Use bufsiz - 1 not BUFSIZ - 1 when prompting for a password in

Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:

Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix.
Windows 8 SDKs complain that GetVersion() is deprecated.
We only use GetVersion like this:
(GetVersion() < 0x80000000)
which checks if the Windows version is NT based. Use a macro check_winnt()
which uses GetVersion() on older SDK versions and true otherwise.

If you use "-newkey rsa" it's supposed to read the default number of bits from the
config file. However the value isn't used to generate the key, but it does
print it's generating such a key. The set_keygen_ctx() doesn't call
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_bits() and you end up with the default set in
pkey_rsa_init() (1024). Afterwards the number of bits gets read from the config
file, but nothing is done with that anymore.
We now read the config first and use the value from the config file when no size
is given.

apps/pkcs12.c accepts -password as an argument. The document author
almost certainly meant to write "-password, -passin".
However, that is not correct, either. Actually the code treats
-password as equivalent to -passin, EXCEPT when -export is also
specified, in which case -password as equivalent to -passout.

Remove reference to ERR_TXT_MALLOCED in the error library as that is
only used internally. Indicate that returned error data must not be
freed.
(cherry picked from commit f2d678e6e8)
Always add a dynamically loaded ENGINE to list. Otherwise it can cause
problems when multiply loaded, especially if it adds new public key methods.
For all current engines we only want a single implementation anyway.
(cherry picked from commit e933f91f50)
Use default instead of ENGINE version of digest. Without this
errors will occur if you use an ENGINE for a private key and
it doesn't implement the digest in question.
