Add CECPQ1 TLS ciphersuites
Tested against BoringSSL (as client + server) and google.com (as client). Fix a stupid crashing bug in NewHope's BoringSSL mode. Remove unneeded error return from curve25519_donna - always returned 0. Default policy prefers ChaChaPoly1305 over GCM and CECPQ1 over ECDH/DH, which means the default no-extra-configuration ciphersuite (for Botan client speaking to Botan server) is a ciphersuite which is both implemented in constant time on all platforms and (hopefully) provides post quantum security. Good Things.
