CHANGES:

* mirage-crypto, mirage-crypto-rng{,lwt,mirage}: support CL.EXE compiler
  (mirage/mirage-crypto#137 @jonahbeckford) - mirage-crypto-pk not yet due to gmp dependency,
  mirage-crypto-ec doesn't pass testsuite
* mirage-crypto-ec: use simpler square root for ed25519 - saving 3
  multiplications and 2 squarings, details
  https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/cfrg/qlKpMBqxXZYmDpXXIx6LO3Oznv4/
  (mirage/mirage-crypto#196 @hannesm)
* mirage-crypto-ec: use sliding window method with pre-computed calues of
  multiples of the generator point for NIST curves, speedup around 4x for P-256
  sign (mirage/mirage-crypto#191 @Firobe, review @palainp @hannesm)
* mirage-crypto-ec: documentation: warn about power timing analysis on `k` in
  Dsa.sign (mirage/mirage-crypto#195 @hannesm, as proposed by @edwintorok)
* mirage-crypto-ec: replace internal Cstruct.t by string (speedup up to 2.5x)
  (mirage/mirage-crypto#146 @dinosaure @hannesm @reynir, review @Firobe @palainp @hannesm @reynir)
* bench/speed: add EC (ECDSA & EdDSA generate/sign/verify, ECDH secret/share)
  operations (mirage/mirage-crypto#192 @hannesm)
* mirage-crypto-rng: use rdtime instead of rdcycle on RISC-V (rdcycle is
  privileged since Linux kernel 6.6) (mirage/mirage-crypto#194 @AdrianBunk, review by @edwintorok)
* mirage-crypto-rng: support Loongarch (mirage/mirage-crypto#190 @fangyaling, review @loongson-zn)
* mirage-crypto-rng: support NetBSD (mirage/mirage-crypto#189 @drchrispinnock)
* mirage-crypto-rng: allocate less in Fortuna when feeding (mirage/mirage-crypto#188 @hannesm,
  reported by @palainp)
* mirage-crypto-ec: avoid mirage-crypto-pk and asn1-combinators test dependency
  (instead, craft our own asn.1 decoder -- mirage/mirage-crypto#200 @hannesm)

### Performance differences between v0.11.2 and v0.11.3 and OpenSSL

The overall result is promising: P-256 sign operation improved 9.4 times, but
is still a 4.9 times slower than OpenSSL.

Numbers in operations per second (apart from speedup, which is a factor
v0.11.3 / v0.11.2), gathered on a Intel i7-5600U CPU 2.60GHz using FreeBSD 14.0,
OCaml 4.14.1, and OpenSSL 3.0.12.
