RSA key generation requires computing a GCD (p-1 and q-1 are relatively
prime with e) and an LCM (the Carmichael totient). I haven't made BN_gcd
itself constant-time here to save having to implement
bn_lshift_secret_shift, since the two necessary operations can be served
by bn_rshift_secret_shift, already added for Rabin-Miller. However, the
guts of BN_gcd are replaced. Otherwise, the new functions are only
connected to tests for now, they'll be used in subsequent CLs.
To support LCM, there is also now a constant-time division function.
This does not replace BN_div because bn_div_consttime is some 40x slower
than BN_div. That penalty is fine for RSA keygen because that operation
is not bottlenecked on division, so we prefer simplicity over
performance.
Median of 29 RSA keygens: 0m0.212s -> 0m0.225s
(Accuracy beyond 0.1s is questionable.)
