Address a timing side channel whereby it is possible to determine some
information about the length of the scalar used in ECDSA operations
from a large number (2^32) of signatures.
This doesn't rate as a CVE because:
* For the non-constant time code, there are easier ways to extract
more information.
* For the constant time code, it requires a significant number of signatures
to leak a small amount of information.
Thanks to Neals Fournaise, Eliane Jaulmes and Jean-Rene Reinhard for
