Right, but we don't need that anymore.

Why not? If you reduce the size without moving the buffer wouldn't
it begin with a bunch of zeroes and wouldn't you lose the real bytes
at the end?

Yes, that was wrong, sorry. The reason I wanted to change it is that
the SW implementation can return a number with leading zeros.
This is because mpi_read_buffer() returns the whole thing.

Because the format of the module signature starts with 0x00, 0x01
the two implementations return a different thing.
For instance SW returned a 512 bytes number starting with 0x00, 0x01
and HW returned 511 bytes number without the 0x00 at the beginning.
Technically both are correct, but then the rsa_signture_verify()
needs to check for both cases, which is not ideal.
To make it return the same thing as SW we can do something like this:

---8<---

Allow for leading zeros in output to make it exactly the same as the
SW implementation.
Change memcpy to memmove because the copy is done within the same buffer.
