Addition in drbg.c for the internal state V doesn't correctly carry bits over.

This was independently discovered by Vladimir Klebanov (Karlsruher Institute of Technology) and myself.
Adding NIST KAT tests and fixing the carry error.

Talked to Franziskus on IRC about this. It's likely to get backported to 3.30 as well before that goes final (which will then find its way into Fx54). It's less clear whether it'll get backported to 3.29 (Fx53) or 3.28 (ESR52) at this point.

I see this was checked in for 3.30:
https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nss/rev/a08fb7c8542c

Changing NSS target milestone.
Target Milestone: 3.31 → 3.30
Group: crypto-core-security → core-security-release
Blocks: 1353740
Blocks: 1353748
This should be fixed in beta by the NSS upgrade in bug 1353740 (for the beta 10 build tomorrow)
