Also, lop off a couple of bytes of white-space.

I have tried to convert 'len' type variable declarations to unsigned as a
means to address these warnings when appropriate, but when in doubt I have
used casts in the comparisons instead. The better solution (that would get
us all lynched by API users) would be to go through and convert all the
function prototypes and structure definitions to use unsigned variables
except when signed is necessary. The proliferation of (signed) "int" for
strictly non-negative uses is unfortunate.

except internally to the allocator BN_CTX_new(), as such this deprecates
the use of BN_CTX_init() in the API. Moreover, the structure definition of
BN_CTX is taken out of bn_lcl.h and moved into bn_ctx.c itself.

NDEBUG should probably only be "forced" in the top-level configuration, but
until it is I will avoid removing it from bn_ctx.c which might surprise
people with massive slow-downs in their keygens. So I've left it in
bn_ctx.c but tidied up the preprocessor logic a touch and made it more
tolerant of debugging efforts.

This does not remove constification restrictions from hash/compare

without bad casts.

linux system (namely mine) chokes on our definitions and uses of the "HZ"
symbol in crypto/tmdiff.[ch] and apps/speed.c as a "bad function cast"
(when in fact there is no function casting involved at all). In both cases,
it is easily worked around by not defining a cast into the macro and
jiggling the expressions slightly.

In addition - this highlights some cruft in openssl that needs sorting out.
The tmdiff.h header is exported as part of the openssl API despite the fact
that it is ugly as the driven sludge and not used anywhere in the library,
applications, or utilities. More weird still, almost identical code exists
in apps/speed.c though it looks to be slightly tweaked - so either tmdiff
should be updated and used by speed.c, or it should be dumped because it's
obviously not useful enough.

Rather than removing it for now, I've changed the API for tmdiff to at
least make sense. This involves taking the object type (MS_TM) from the
implementation and using it in the header rather than using "char *" in the
API and casting mercilessly in the code (ugh). If someone doesn't like
"MS_TM" and the "ms_time_***" naming, by all means change it. This should
be a harmless improvement, because the existing API is clearly not very
useful (eg. we reimplement it rather than using it in our own utils).

However, someone still needs to take a hack at consolidating speed.c and
tmdiff.[ch] somehow.
