I believe that a separate config option is the right approach for now. We will hopefully be able to shift some things in the default config once we overcome CBMC issues, but other aspects such as the ad-hoc matrix generation will always remain a trade-off between performance and RAM usage.
Only some smaller comments regarding documentation and the Makefile.

I forgot: Please clearly state in the relevant places that MLK_CONFIG_REDUCE_RAM is not covered by CBMC proof.
This commit is the second commit working towards bringing down the memory consumption of signature_internal. It combines the y and h buffer as those lifetime does not overlap. We work around diffblue/cbmc#8813 by using a struct by default and only using a union if MLD_CONFIG_REDUCE_RAM is used. Signed-off-by: Matthias J. Kannwischer <matthias@kannwischer.eu>
