Always create 70 byte signatures with low R values

When extra entropy is not specified by the caller, CKey::Sign will
now always create a signature that has a low R value and is at most
70 bytes. The resulting signature on the stack will be 71 bytes when
the sighash byte is included.

Using low R signatures means that the resulting DER encoded signature
will never need to have additional padding to account for high R
values.
