Security
* MBEDTLS_AESNI_C, which is enabled by default, was silently ignored on
builds that couldn't compile the GCC-style assembly implementation
(most notably builds with Visual Studio), leaving them vulnerable to
timing side-channel attacks. There is now an intrinsics-based AES-NI
implementation as a fallback for when the assembly one cannot be used.
