 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h  [XX xxx XXXX]

  *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
     RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations to mitigate the
     hyper-threading timing attacks pointed out by Colin Percival
     (http://www.daemonology.net/hyperthreading-considered-harmful/),
     and potential related attacks.
     RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
     squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
     independent of the particular secret key.  This will mitigate
     cache-timing and potential related attacks.

     BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
     and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
