Implement fixed-window exponentiation to mitigate hyper-threading
timing attacks. BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME requests this algorithm, and this done by default for RSA/DSA/DH private key computations unless RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME/DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME/ DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set. Submitted by: Matthew D Wood Reviewed by: Bodo Moeller
