Don't compute the Kronecker symbol in ec_GFp_simple_set_compressed_coordinates.

Browse Source 
If y is zero, there is no point with odd y, so the odd bit may not be
set, hence EC_R_INVALID_COMPRESSION_BIT. This code instead computed the
Kronecker symbol of x and changed the error code to
EC_R_INVALID_COMPRESSED_POINT if not a square.

As the comment says, this was (intended to be) unreachable. But it
seems x was a typo for tmp1. It dates to before upstream's
6fb60a84dd1ec81953917e0444dab50186617432, when BN_mod_sqrt gave
garbage if its input was not square. Now it emits BN_R_NOT_A_SQUARE.
Upstream's 48fe4d6233ac2d60745742a27f820dd88bc6689d then mapped
BN_R_NOT_A_SQUARE to EC_R_INVALID_COMPRESSED_POINT.
