Now that the tuned add/dbl implementations are exposed, these can be
specific to EC_GFp_mont_method and call the felem_mul and felem_sqr
implementations directly.
felem_sqr and felem_mul are still used elsewhere in simple.c, however,
so we cannot get rid of them yet.

This commit improves the performance of ECDSA signature verification
(over NIST P-256 curve) for x86 platforms. The speedup is by a factor of 1.15x.
It does so by:
1) Leveraging the fact that the verification does not need
to run in constant time. To this end, we implemented:
a) the function ecp_nistz256_points_mul_public in a similar way to
the current ecp_nistz256_points_mul function by removing its constant
time features.
b) the Binary Extended Euclidean Algorithm (BEEU) in x86 assembly to
replace the current modular inverse function used for the inversion.
2) The last step in the ECDSA_verify function compares the (x) affine
coordinate with the signature (r) value. Converting x from the Jacobian's
representation to the affine coordinate requires to perform one inversions
(x_affine = x * z^(-2)). We save this inversion and speed up the computations
by instead bringing r to x (r_jacobian = r*z^2) which is faster.
The measured results are:

This is slower, but constant-time. It intentionally omits the signed

EC_POINT is split into the existing public EC_POINT (where the caller is
sanity-checked about group mismatches) and the low-level EC_RAW_POINT
(which, like EC_FELEM and EC_SCALAR, assume that is your problem and is
a plain old struct). Having both EC_POINT and EC_RAW_POINT is a little
silly, but we're going to want different type signatures for functions
which return void anyway (my plan is to lift a non-BIGNUM
get_affine_coordinates up through the ECDSA and ECDH code), so I think
it's fine.
This wasn't strictly necessary, but wnaf.c is a lot tidier now. Perf is
a wash; once we get up to this layer, it's only 8 entries in the table
so not particularly interesting.

This introduces EC_FELEM, which is analogous to EC_SCALAR. It is used
for EC_POINT's representation in the generic EC_METHOD, as well as
random operations on tuned EC_METHODs that still are implemented
genericly.
Unlike EC_SCALAR, EC_FELEM's exact representation is awkwardly specific
to the EC_METHOD, analogous to how the old values were BIGNUMs but may
or may not have been in Montgomery form. This is kind of a nuisance, but
no more than before. (If p224-64.c were easily convertable to Montgomery
form, we could say |EC_FELEM| is always in Montgomery form. If we
exposed the internal add and double implementations in each of the
curves, we could give |EC_POINT| an |EC_METHOD|-specific representation
and |EC_FELEM| is purely a |EC_GFp_mont_method| type. I'll leave this
for later.)
The generic add and doubling formulas are aligned with the formulas
proved in fiat-crypto. Those only applied to a = -3, so I've proved a
generic one in https://github.com/mit-plv/fiat-crypto/pull/356, in case
someone uses a custom curve. The new formulas are verified,
constant-time, and swap a multiply for a square. As expressed in
fiat-crypto they do use more temporaries, but this seems to be fine with
stack-allocated EC_FELEMs. (We can try to help the compiler later,
but benchamrks below suggest this isn't necessary.)
Unlike BIGNUM, EC_FELEM can be stack-allocated. It also captures the
bounds in the type system and, in particular, that the width is correct,
which will make it easier to select a point in constant-time in the
future. (Indeed the old code did not always have the correct width. Its
point formula involved halving and implemented this in variable time and
variable width.)

This does not appear to actually pull its weight. The purpose of this
logic is to switch some adds to the faster add_mixed in the wNAF code,
at the cost of a rather expensive inversion. This optimization kicks in
for generic curves, so P-384 and P-521:

For single-point multiplication, the optimization is not useful. This
makes sense as we only have one table's worth of additions to convert
but still pay for the inversion. For double-point multiplication, it is
slightly useful for P-384 and very useful for P-521. However, the next
change to stack-allocate EC_FELEMs will more than compensate for
removing it. (The immediate goal here is to simplify the EC_FELEM
story.)
Additionally, that this optimization was not useful for single-point
multiplication implies that, should we wish to recover this, a modest
8-entry pre-computed (affine) base point table should have the same
effect or better.
Update-Note: I do not believe anything was calling either of these
functions. (If necessary, we can always add no-op stubs as whether a
point is affine is not visible to external code. It previously kicked in
some optimizations, but those were removed for constant-time needs
anyway.)

The generic code special-cases affine points, but this leaks
information. (Of course, the generic code also doesn't have a
constant-time multiply and other problems, but one thing at a time.)
The optimization in point doubling is not useful. Point multiplication
more-or-less never doubles an affine point. The optimization in point
addition *is* useful because the wNAF code converts the tables to
affine. Accordingly, align with the P-256 code which adds a 'mixed'
parameter.
(I haven't aligned the formally-verified point formulas themselves yet;
initial testing suggests that the large number of temporaries take a
perf hit with BIGNUM. I'll check the results in EC_FELEM, which will be
stack-allocated, to see if we still need to help the compiler out.)
Strangly, it actually got a bit faster with this change. I'm guessing
because now it doesn't need to bother with unnecessary comparisons and
maybe was kinder to the branch predictor?

This is in preparation for representing field elements with
stack-allocated types in the generic code. While there is likely little
benefit in threading all the turned field arithmetic through all the
generic code, and the P-224 logic, in particular, does not have a tight
enough abstraction for this, the current implementations depend on
BN_div, which is not compatible with stack-allocating things and avoiding
malloc.

As the EC code will ultimately want to use these in "words" form by way
of EC_FELEM, and because it's much easier, I've implement these as
low-level words-based functions that require all inputs have the same
width. The BIGNUM versions which RSA and, for now, EC calls are
implemented on top of that.
Unfortunately, doing such things in constant-time and accounting for
undersized inputs requires some scratch space, and these functions don't
take BN_CTX. So I've added internal bn_mod_*_quick_ctx functions that
take a BN_CTX and the old functions now allocate a bit unnecessarily.
RSA only needs lshift (for BN_MONT_CTX) and sub (for CRT), but the
generic EC code wants add as well.
The generic EC code isn't even remotely constant-time, and I hope to
ultimately use stack-allocated EC_FELEMs, so I've made the actual
implementations here implemented in "words", which is much simpler
anyway due to not having to take care of widths.
I've also gone ahead and switched the EC code to these functions,
largely as a test of their performance (an earlier iteration made the EC
code noticeably slower). These operations are otherwise not
performance-critical in RSA.
The conversion from BIGNUM to BIGNUM+BN_CTX should be dropped by the
static linker already, and the unused BIGNUM+BN_CTX functions will fall
off when EC_FELEM happens.
Update-Note: BN_mod_*_quick bounce on malloc a bit now, but they're not
really used externally. The one caller I found was wpa_supplicant
which bounces on malloc already. They appear to be implementing
compressed coordinates by hand? We may be able to convince them to
call EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GFp.

Specifically:
- Functions that do not touch top/width are assumed to not care.
- Functions that do touch top/width will be changed by this CL. These

Subsequent CLs will start adjusting the widths that BIGNUM functions

That then allows us to inline ec_point_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp

Currently we only check that the underlying EC_METHODs match, which
avoids the points being in different forms, but not that the points are
on the same curves. (We fixed the APIs early on so off-curve EC_POINTs
cannot be created.)
In particular, this comes up with folks implementating Java's crypto
APIs with ECDH_compute_key. These APIs are both unfortunate and should
not be mimicked, as they allow folks to mismatch the groups on the two
multiple EC_POINTs. Instead, ECDH APIs should take the public value as a
byte string.
Thanks also to Java's poor crypto APIs, we must support custom curves,
which makes this particularly gnarly. This CL makes EC_GROUP_cmp work
with custom curves and adds an additional subtle requirement to
EC_GROUP_set_generator.
Annoyingly, this change is additionally subtle because we now have a
