Since a is not a pointer, it is passed by value and declaring it const
doesn’t make any sense and on the first read can make me miss the fact
that a is not a pointer.

Numbers:
- A, B for mbedtls_mpi_uint* operands
- a, b for mbedtls_mpi_uint operands
- X or x for result
- HAC references where applicable
Lengths:
- Reserve size or length for length/size in bytes or byte buffers.
- For length of mbedtls_mpi_uint* buffers use limbs
- Length parameters are qualified if possible (eg. input_length or
a_limbs)
Setup functions:
- The parameters match the corresponding structure member's name
- The structure to set up is a standard lower case name even if in other
functions different naming conventions would apply
Scope of changes/conventions:
- bignum_core
- bignum_mod
- bignum_mod_raw

In the new bignum files (bignum_core.c, bignum_mod_raw.c and
bignum_mod.c) the loop variables are declared in the loop head wherever
this change is beneficial.
There are loops where the loop variable is used after the end of the
loop (this might not be good practice, but that is out of scope for this
commit) and others where there are several loop variables and declaring
them there would hurt readability.

Skip reading if output pointer is NULL even if the length of the input buffer is 0.
The memory sanitizer will mark this as an error.

These functions have full documentation in the header. Maintaing two
copies does not worth the effort and having an out of sync reduced
duplicate is not helpful.

This used to resize MPIs in the legacy interface, which is not
needed/possible as the new interface has fixed size MPIs.
Inlining this function makes the code easier to read and maintain, while
there is no obvious drawback to it.

A null pointer dereference, or null pointer plus small offset, is a
clean runtime error in most environments. So it's not particularly
useful to protect against this.
While at it make a null pointer check that is actually necessary more
robust.

Extract functions declared in bignum_core.h into a source file with a
matching name.
We are doing this because:
- This is a general best practice/convention
- We hope that this will make resolving merge conflicts in the future
easier
- Having them in a unified source file is a premature optimisation at
this point
