mbedtls: fix x86 PIC build with GCC < 5

ebx was recently added to the x86 inline asm MULADDC_STOP clobber list to
fix #1550, but this causes the build to fail with GCC < 5 when building in
PIC mode with errors like:
include/mbedtls/bn_mul.h:46:13: error: PIC register clobbered by ‘ebx’ in ‘asm’
This is because older GCC versions treated the x86 ebx register (which is
used for the GOT) as a fixed reserved register when building as PIC.
This is fixed by an improved register allocator in GCC 5+. From the release
notes:
Register allocation improvements: Reuse of the PIC hard register, instead of
using a fixed register, was implemented on x86/x86-64 targets. This
improves generated PIC code performance as more hard registers can be used.

As a workaround, add a patch to detect this situation and disable the inline
assembly, similar to the MULADDC_CANNOT_USE_R7 logic.
