cf1b7d9664 Make all configuration macros available for application by making
sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
opensslconf.h.

I've checked fairly well that nothing breaks with this (apart from
external software that will adapt if they have used something like
NO_KRB5), but I can't guarantee it completely, so a review of this
change would be a good thing.

35ed8cb8b6 Integrate my implementation of a countermeasure against
Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.  With this implementation, the expected
number of iterations never exceeds 2.

New semantics for BN_rand_range():
BN_rand_range(r, min, range) now generates r such that
     min <= r < min+range.
(Previously, BN_rand_range(r, min, max) generated r such that
     min <= r < max.
It is more convenient to have the range; also the previous
prototype was misleading because max was larger than
the actual maximum.)

ab5db00717 Update the LHASH man page.
* Correct some prototypes and macros with respect to "const"ness.

* Add the extra macros and examples due to the lh_doall[_arg] modifications
  made recently. The existing example is also reworked for consistency.

* Rewrite, tweak, and supplement bits of the existing comments that seemed
  (IMHO) to be a little convoluted and misleading.

* Add a NOTE section that explains the use of macros and avoiding function
  casts (ie. generate a wrapper as with the macros, or prototype any
  callback functions exactly to not require casting). Also, explain the
  "const" approach taken in LHASH for the purposes of API comprehensibility
  and also application code auditing.
