Crypto code in wolfSSL doesn't provide much debug logging so it was difficult to debug errors in crypto_wolfssl.c. New logging macros provide exact information where and what error occurred.

This is inconveniently large to review and I would like to see this
being split into quite a few smaller patches addressing items in small
independent steps. I was hoping to take a closer look at this, but it
would likely take me quite a few hours to go through the details and
split this myself and clearly I have not found the time to do that yet..

As an example, this has nothing to do with adding new functionality and
all the logging changes should really be in their own patches.

This has nothing to do with the wolfSSL changes and should have been in
a separate patch. Though, matching changes have since then been applied.

EAP-pwd does not depend on MD4 password hashing; it is just one of the
available options. That option being there should not make any other
part of EAP-pwd incompatible with FIPS expectations.

What exactly is the issue for this one? This is SAE, so PBKDF2 password
constraint should not apply.

check_dpp_capab() could be extended to skip test cases when the build
uses wolfSSL in FIPS mode.

I'm not completely sure how the other test cases listed here are
impacted.. Is that because of the HMAC password constraint for the PSK
cases? If so, I guess those test cases could be modified to use a longer
passphrase. That said, there are also SAE-only test cases in the list
and they should not have the same constraint.

skip_with_fips() can be used with test cases that are clearly not
possible to execute in FIPS mode. I've added it to quite a few test
cases, but I'm sure that list is still quite far from complete.
