* x509: encode ECDSA private key in fixed length
RFC 5915 section 3 says that the privateKey field of ECPrivateKey
structure should be fixed length, though the library encoded it in
variable length, depending on the leading byte. This patch enforces
that the field is always encoded in fixed length, as well as
consolidates the code paths for EdDSA and X25519/X448 keys.
Fixes: #1747
