Previously, the ed25519 and SPAKE implementations called field element
operations in ways that did not satisfy the preconditions about ranges
of limbs. Furthermore, replacing signed field arithmetic with unsigned field
arithmetic with similar specifications caused tests to fail. This commit
addresses this in three steps:
(1) Split fe into fe and fe_loose, tracking the bounds
(2) Insert carry operations before uses of fe_add/fe_sub/fe_neg whose
input is already within only the loose bounds
(3) Assert that each field element is within the appropriate bounds at
the beginning and end of every field operation.

This also adds a few missing assertions (X25519 returns true in normal
cases and, even when it returns zero, it still writes to out.)

Most C standard library functions are undefined if passed NULL, even
when the corresponding length is zero. This gives them (and, in turn,
all functions which call them) surprising behavior on empty arrays.
Some compilers will miscompile code due to this rule. See also

Add OPENSSL_memcpy, etc., wrappers which avoid this problem.
