Workaround for BN_bn2mpi reading/writing out of bounds
When OpenSSL's BN_bn2mpi is passed a buffer of size 4, valgrind reports reading/writing one byte past it. I am unable to find evidence of this behaviour in BN_bn2mpi's source code, so it may be a spurious warning. However, this change is harmless, as only the bignum with value 0 results in an mpi serialization of size 4.
