Simon Tatham 1c039d0a7b Spelling: standardise on "DSA", not "DSS".
This code base has always been a bit confused about which spelling it
likes to use to refer to that signature algorithm. The SSH protocol id
is "ssh-dss". But everyone I know refers to it as the Digital
Signature _Algorithm_, not the Digital Signature _Standard_.

When I moved everything down into the crypto subdir, I took the
opportunity to rename sshdss.c to dsa.c. Now I'm doing the rest of the
job: all internal identifiers and code comments refer to DSA, and the
spelling "dss" only survives in externally visible identifiers that
have to remain constant.

(Such identifiers include the SSH protocol id, and also the string id
used to identify the key type in PuTTY's own host key cache. We can't
change the latter without causing everyone a backwards-compatibility
headache, and if we _did_ ever decide to do that, we'd surely want to
do a much more thorough job of making the cache format more sensible!)

*
* The latter is done by finding an element whose order is
* _divisible_ by q and raising it to the power of (p-1)/q. Every
* element whose order is not divisible by q is a qth power of q
* distinct elements whose order _is_ divisible by q, so the
* probability of not finding a suitable element on the first try
* is in the region of 1/q, i.e. at most 2^-159.
*
* (So the probability of success will end up indistinguishable
* from 1 in IEEE standard floating point! But what can you do.)
