Document that curve lists can include partially-supported curves

Browse Source 
Document that a curve returned by mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() or
mbedtls_ecp_grp_id_list() may lack support for ECDH or ECDSA.

Add a corresponding changelog entry, under "API Changes" because we
have changed the behavior: formerly, these functions skipped ECDH-only
curves, although this was not documented.

that it is now optional with the MBEDTLS_CHECK_PARAMS flag which by default
is off. That means that checks which were previously present by default
will no longer be.
* The functions mbedtls_ecp_curve_list() and mbedtls_ecp_grp_id_list() now
list all curves for which at least one of ECDH or ECDSA is supported, not
just curves for which both are supported. Call mbedtls_ecdsa_can_do() or
mbedtls_ecdh_can_do() on each result to check whether each algorithm is
supported.
New deprecations
* Deprecate mbedtls_ctr_drbg_update and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_update
