Remove automatic self-testing of public and private keys
Rarely expected and often causes performance problems, especially for private keys. Instead applications should call check_key explicitly to validate keys when necessary. Note this removal doesn't apply to tests like ECDH on-the-curve tests, where a check on the public key is required for security of our own key. Updates most APIs to remove RNG calls, where they are no longer required. Exception is PKCS8 interface, pending further work there (see GH #685) it just ignores the RNG argument now.
