Adding size of maximum data that can be processed by a gadget.

Needed for hash functions in RSA. Like maximum bytes that can be processed bu SHA1 = 2^61 - 1.

I remember that for sha1 the standard says that if the number of bits
is more than 2^64 - 1 then the padding is the length mod 2^64.

Also we need some abstraction for random number generation. I need a random Octet string in rsa. Should I use some package (if yes then which one)?

I think I can close this issue. It is not something on which action has to be taken
