Fix renegotiation at incorrect times in DTLS
Fix an incorrect condition in ssl_check_ctr_renegotiate() that compared
64 bits of record counter instead of 48 bits as described in RFC 6347
Section 4.3.1. This would cause the function's return value to be
occasionally incorrect and the renegotiation routines to be triggered
at unexpected times.

does not define MBEDTLS_PEM_PARSE_C. #562

* Fixed multiple buffer overreads in mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() when parsing
the input string in PEM format to extract the different components. Found
by Eyal Itkin.
