[PATCH v4 00/12] Add support for NIST P521 to ecdsa

This series adds support for the NIST P521 curve to the ecdsa module
to enable signature verification with it.

An issue with the current code in ecdsa is that it assumes that input
arrays providing key coordinates for example, are arrays of digits
(a 'digit' is a 'u64'). This works well for all currently supported
curves, such as NIST P192/256/384, but does not work for NIST P521 where
coordinates are 8 digits + 2 bytes long. So some of the changes deal with
converting byte arrays to digits and adjusting tests on input byte
array lengths to tolerate arrays not providing multiples of 8 bytes.

Regards,
Stefan

v4:
- Followed suggestions by Lukas Wummer (1,5,8/12)
- Use nbits rather than ndigits where needed (8/12)
- Renaming 'keylen' variablest to bufsize where necessary (9/12)
- Adjust signature size calculation for NIST P521 (11/12)

v3:
- Dropped ecdh support
- Use ecc_get_curve_nbits for getting number of bits in NIST P521 curve
in ecc_point_mult (7/10)

v2:
- Reformulated some patch descriptions
- Fixed issue detected by krobot
- Some other small changes to the code
