Fix sybrenstuvel#165: CVE-2020-25658 - Bleichenbacher-style timing oracle Use as many constant-time comparisons as practical in the `rsa.pkcs1.decrypt` function. `cleartext.index(b'\x00', 2)` will still be non-constant-time. The alternative would be to iterate over all the data byte by byte in Python, which is several orders of magnitude slower. Given that a perfect constant-time implementation is very hard or even impossible to do in Python [1], I chose the more performant option here.
