bignum: add provision for combined software and hardware MPI approach

For exponential mod (API mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod) operation, some ESP target
chips needs to have ability for both hardware and software implementation.

Hardware implementation provided performance advantage but it can only
support upto 3072 bit operations (e.g., ESP32-C3) and hence we fallback
to software implementation in such cases (e.g., 4096 bit operations).

Earlier this was handled using linker "--wrap" flag but that does not
work in all scenarios as API `mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod` is being used in
same tranlation (compilation unit).

This approach was found to be next best option with minimal changes in
mbedTLS library.
