Implement Diffie-Hellman primitives required by the scheme under the
akcipher API. Here is how it works.
1) Call set_pub_key() by passing DH parameters (p,g) in PKCS3 format
2) Call set_priv_key() to set your own private key (xa) in raw format
3) Call decrypt() without passing any data as input to get back the
   public part which will be computed as g^xa mod p
4) Call encrypt() by passing the counter part public key (yb) in raw format
   as input to get back the shared secret calculated as zz = yb^xa mod p

A test is included in the patch. Test vector has been generated with
openssl
