Please add support for ed448/x448

[JMC-PK]

With OpenSSL supporting ed448 for over a year now, I was hoping it would find its way in to LibreSSL sooner rather than later. There are more than a few products that use LibreSSL as a dependency & would be great to be able to start using this curve.

The original author of ed448 Mike Hamburg (@bitwiseshiftleft) seemed pretty open and helpful to getting the primitives added to OpenSSL under the correct licensing, maybe reaching out could speed this along.

Hi JMC-PK, I’m willing to help, though I’m pretty busy so I can’t do much coding in support of this right now. What sort of help would be useful with this? I’m guessing you don’t want to include the whole of libdecaf? Cheers, — Mike
