Document changes to passhash9 and ECDSA keys that I forgot to include
in the 1.9.16 change notes. Update the passhash9 ref to match reality.

* ``EC_Group``'s string constructor didn't understand the standard
names like "secp160r1", forcing use of the OIDs.
+* Two constructors for ECDSA private keys, the one that creates a new
+ random key, and the one that provides a preset private key as a
+ ``BigInt``, have been merged. This matches the existing interface
+ for DSA and DH keys. If you previously used the version taking a
+ ``BigInt`` private key, you'll have to additionally pass in a
+ ``RandomNumberGenerator`` object starting in this release.

+* It is now possible to create ECDH keys with a preset ``BigInt``
+ private key; previously no method for this was available.

+* The overload of ``generate_passhash9`` that takes an explicit

+ The algorithm identifier code has been moved from the second
+ parameter to the fourth. See :ref:`passhash9` for details.
