deprecate the original (numeric-only) scheme, and replace with the
CRYPTO_THREADID object. This hides the platform-specifics and should reduce
the possibility for programming errors (where failing to explicitly check
both thread ID forms could create subtle, platform-specific bugs).

Thanks to Bodo, for invaluable review and feedback.

version some time soon.

to 'unsigned long' (ie. odd platforms/compilers), so a pointer-typed
version was added but it required portable code to check *both* modes to
determine equality. This commit maintains the availability of both thread
ID types, but deprecates the type-specific accessor APIs that invoke the
callbacks - instead a single type-independent API is used.  This simplifies
software that calls into this interface, and should also make it less
error-prone - as forgetting to call and compare *both* thread ID accessors
could have led to hard-to-debug/infrequent bugs (that might only affect
certain platforms or thread implementations). As the CHANGES note says,
there were corresponding deprecations and replacements in the
thread-related functions for BN_BLINDING and ERR too.

- hide the EC_KEY structure definition in ec_lcl.c + add
  some functions to use/access the EC_KEY fields
- change the way how method specific data (ecdsa/ecdh) is
  attached to a EC_KEY
- add ECDSA_sign_ex and ECDSA_do_sign_ex functions with
  additional parameters for pre-computed values
- rebuild libeay.num from 0.9.7

EC_GROUP_new_by_nid -> EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name

- bugfix: in ECDH_compute_key, pad x coordinate with leading zeros if necessary

EC_GROUP_new_by_nid() should be enough.  This avoids a lot of
redundancy.

 - add ECDSA and ECDH to apps/speed.c
 - adds support for EC curves over binary fields to ECDSA
 - new function EC_KEY_up_ref() in crypto/ec/ec_key.c
 - reorganize crypto/ecdsa/ecdsatest.c
