libgcrypt: update to 1.9.0.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.9.0 (2021-01-19) [C23/A3/R0]
------------------------------------------------
* New and extended interfaces:
- New curves Ed448, X448, and SM2.
- New cipher mode EAX.
- New cipher algo SM4.
- New hash algo SM3.
- New hash algo variants SHA512/224 and SHA512/256.
- New MAC algos for Blake-2 algorithms, the new SHA512 variants,
SM3, SM4 and for a GOST variant.
- New convenience function gcry_mpi_get_ui.
- gcry_sexp_extract_param understands new format specifiers to
directly store to integers and strings.
- New function gcry_ecc_mul_point and curve constants for Curve448
and Curve25519. [#4293]
- New function gcry_ecc_get_algo_keylen.
- New control code GCRYCTL_AUTO_EXPAND_SECMEM to allow growing the
secure memory area. Also in 1.8.2 as an undocumented feature.
* Performance:
- Optimized implementations for Aarch64.
- Faster implementations for Poly1305 and ChaCha. Also for
PowerPC. [b9a471ccf5,172ad09cbe,#4460]

- Several minor fixes. [#4102,#4208,#4209,#4210,#4211,#4212]
[also in 1.8.4]
- On Linux always make use of getrandom if possible and then use
its /dev/urandom behaviour. [#3894][also in 1.8.4]
- Use blinding for ECDSA signing to mitigate a novel side-channel
attack. [#4011,CVE-2018-0495] [also in 1.8.3, 1.7.10]
- Fix incorrect counter overflow handling for GCM when using an IV
size other than 96 bit. [#3764] [also in 1.8.3, 1.7.10]

on some platforms. [also in 1.8.3, 1.7.10]
- Fix the gcry_mpi_ec_curve_point point validation function.
[also in 1.8.3, 1.7.10]
- Fix rare assertion failure in gcry_prime_check. [also in 1.8.3]
- Do not use /dev/srandom on OpenBSD. [also in 1.8.2]
- Fix test suite failure on systems with large pages. [#3351]
[also in 1.8.2]
- Fix test suite to not use mmap on Windows. [also in 1.8.2]
- Fix fatal out of secure memory status in the s-expression parser
on heavy loaded systems. [also in 1.8.2]
- Fix build problems on OpenIndiana et al. [#4818, also in 1.8.6]
