Experiments have shown that the lookup table used by BN_GF2m_mod_arr
introduces sufficient timing signal to recover the private key for an
attacker with access to cache timing information on the victim's host.
This only affects binary curves (which are less frequently used).
No CVE is considered necessary for this issue.
The fix is to replace the lookup table with an on-the-fly calculation of
the value from the table instead, which can be performed in constant time.
Thanks to Youngjoo Shin for reporting this issue.

Since return is inconsistent, I removed unnecessary parentheses and
unified them.

Add a new global DRBG for private keys used by RAND_priv_bytes.
Add BN_priv_rand() and BN_priv_rand_range() which use RAND_priv_bytes().
Change callers to use the appropriate BN_priv... function.

This was done by the following
find . -name '*.[ch]' | /tmp/pl
where /tmp/pl is the following three-line script:
print unless $. == 1 && m@/\* .*\.[ch] \*/@;
close ARGV if eof; # Close file to reset $.
And then some hand-editing of other files.

There are header files in crypto/ that are used by a number of crypto/
submodules. Move those to crypto/include/internal and adapt the
affected source code and Makefiles.
The header files that got moved are:
crypto/cryptolib.h
crypto/md32_common.h

For a local variable:
TYPE *p;
Allocations like this are "risky":
p = OPENSSL_malloc(sizeof(TYPE));
if the type of p changes, and the malloc call isn't updated, you
could get memory corruption. Instead do this:
p = OPENSSL_malloc(sizeof(*p));
Also fixed a few memset() calls that I noticed while doing this.

Exact improvement coefficients vary from one benchmark and platform to
another, e.g. it performs 70%-33% better on ARM, hereafter less for
longer keys, and 100%-90% better on x86_64.
Remove certain redundant BN_zero() initialisations, because BN_CTX_get(),
BN_init(), [etc] already initialise to zero.
Correct error checking in bn_sqr.c, and be less wishy-wash about how/why
the result's 'top' value is set (note also, 'max' is always > 0 at this
point).
automatically to accomodate the value, some compilers fail to do so. Most
notably 0x0123456789ABCDEF should come out as long long in 32-bit context,
but HP compiler truncates it to 32-bit value. Which in turn breaks GF(2^m)
arithmetics in hpux-parisc2-cc build. Therefore this fix...
