So in a sense this commit reverts few latest ones fixing bugs in original
code and improving it, most notably adding 64-bit support [though not in
BN_nist_mod_224 yet].

for now (it was broken anyway)

Remove certain redundant BN_zero() initialisations, because BN_CTX_get(),
BN_init(), [etc] already initialise to zero.

Correct error checking in bn_sqr.c, and be less wishy-wash about how/why
the result's 'top' value is set (note also, 'max' is always > 0 at this
point).

redefine bn_clear_top2max() to be a NOP in the non-debugging case, and
remove some unnecessary usages in bn_nist.c.
