Update key share group ranking algorithm
In case no user group ranking is set, all groups are now ranked equally instead of the order in the `preferredGroup` array. This is the behavior already indicated in the comment header of the function. This change is necessary for applications that do not set their own group ranking (via `wolfSSL_CTX_set_groups()` for example). When such an application creates a TLS server and receives a ClientHello message with multiple key shares, now the first key share is selected instead of the one with the lowest index in the `preferredGroup` array. Recent browsers with PQC support place two key shares in their ClientHello message: a hybrid PQC + X25519 one and at least one classic-only one. The hybrid one is the first one, indicating a preference. Without this change, however, always the classic-only key share has been selected, as these algorithms have a lower index in the `preferredGroup` array compared to the PQC hybrids. Tested using a patched version of NGINX. This change also results in a different selection of a key share group in case of a HelloRetryRequest message. For the tests, where static ephemeral keys are used (`WOLFSSL_STATIC_EPHEMERAL`), an additional check is necessary to make sure the correct key is used for the ECDH calculation.
