ECDSA dropbear key

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi!
ECDSA hostkey (new type) is missing.
Both in 000-build.patch (path not modified) and in startup script (key not 
generated)

Sorry, I forgot to modify ECDSA_PRIV_FILENAME in options.h 
(dropbear/000-build.patch). Will be done ASAP.

About others/dropbearstart.sh - I'm not sure that we should generate ECDSA keys 
by default. Your opinion?

ECDSA key is very small. Other advantages listed here:

I think ECDSA should be generated.

Ok, agreed.

The most complex part of others/dropbearstart.sh modification - to generate 
missing key types only.

Have you tried new -R option to automatically generate hostkeys?

It assumes that we have persistent storage for keys, but we must to save keys 
in nvram(flashfs)
