This series of patches add support for x509 cert signed by eddsa,
which is described in RFC8032 [1], currently ed25519 only.

According to RFC8032 section 4 [2], there're two variants: PureEdDSA and
HashEdDSA. These patches support PureEdDSA which named Ed25519.

Patch1 fix a memory leak bug in sm2.

Patch2 fix a mpi_resize bug, this bug will cause eddsa verification failed.

Patch3 exports some mpi common functions.

Patch4 makes x509 layer support eddsa.

Patch5 moves some common code in sm2 to separate files. These code is also
used by eddsa.

Patch6 is the implementation of eddsa verification according to RFC8032
section 5.1.7 [3].

Patch7 adds test vector for eddsa.

Test by the following script:

keyctl newring test @u

while :; do
certfile="cert.der"

openssl req \
-x509 \
-newkey ED25519 \
-keyout key.pem \
-days 365 \
-subj '/CN=test' \
-nodes \
-outform der \
-out ${certfile} 2>/dev/null

exp=0
id=$(keyctl padd asymmetric testkey %keyring:test < "${certfile}")
rc=$?
if [ $rc -ne $exp ]; then
case "$exp" in
0) echo "Error: Could not load ed25519 certificate $certfile!";
esac
exit 1
else
case "$rc" in
0) printf "load ed25519 cert keyid: %-10s\n" $id;
esac
fi
done
