Tim Ruffing 41f8993a4b Clarify nonce generation
- Separate nonce generation into getting a random byte string and converting it to a suitable scalar ...
 - ... to make clear that the byte string can be generated differently.
 - Make the warning a little bit more prominent and improve writing

Tim Ruffing ad6bb6c1ff Clarify why we don't want short hashes
This is supposed to supersede https://github.com/sipa/bips/pull/158.
I tried to say this carefully. I don't think that multiparty signing is in general broken with short hashes. For example the attack in #158 could be avoided by letting everybody not only commit to the nonce but also to the message. It's just that using a collision-resistant hash just eliminates the problem entirely...

Tim Ruffing 09e3f637b5 Change reference for ECDSA proofs
Refer to Manuel Fersch's dissertation for provable security of ECDSA. It's freely accessible and multiple results put well in context.
