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.

It's not clear whether this inconsistency could lead to an actual
computation error, but it involved a BIGNUM being passed around the
montgomery logic in an inconsistent state. This was found using flags
-DBN_DEBUG -DBN_DEBUG_RAND, and working backwards from this assertion
in 'ectest';
ectest: bn_mul.c:960: BN_mul: Assertion `(_bnum2->top == 0) ||
(_bnum2->d[_bnum2->top - 1] != 0)' failed

CHANGES
Improve RSA sing performance by 20-30% by:
- switching from floating-point to integer conditional moves;
- daisy-chaining sqr-sqr-sqr-sqr-sqr-mul sequences;
- using MONTMUL even during powers table setup;
This change adds the option to calculate (EC)DSA nonces by hashing the
message and private key along with entropy to avoid leaking the private
key if the PRNG fails.
requested size. Fixes OpenSSL #2701.
This change does not address the cases of generating safe primes, or
where the |add| parameter is non-NULL.

eliminating them as dead code.
Both volatile and "memory" are used because of some concern that the compiler
may still cache values across the asm block without it, and because this was
such a painful debugging session that I wanted to ensure that it's never
repeated.
