ecc_is_key_valid expects a key with the most significant digit in the last
entry of the digit array. Currently ecdh_set_secret passes a reversed key
to ecc_is_key_valid that then passes the rather simple test checking
whether the private key is in range [2, n-3]. For all current ecdh-
supported curves (NIST P192/256/384) the 'n' parameter is a rather large
number, therefore easily passing this test.

Throughout the ecdh and ecc codebase the variable 'priv' is used for a
private_key holding the bytes in proper byte order. Therefore, introduce
priv in ecdh_set_secret and copy the bytes from ctx->private_key into
priv in proper byte order by using ecc_swap_digits. Pass priv to
ecc_is_valid_key.
