Gilles Peskine d15c740df6 Fix memory leak in mbedtls_md_setup with HMAC
mbedtls_md_setup() allocates a hash-specific context and then, if
requested, an extra HMAC context. If the second allocation failed, the
hash context was not freed.

Fix this by ensuring that the mbedtls_md_context_t object is always in
a consistent state, in particular, that the md_info field is always
set. For robustness, ensure that the object is in a consistent state
even on errors (other than BAD_INPUT_DATA if the object was not in a
consistent state on entry).

Fix #3486
