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 has no behavior change, but it has a semantic one. This CL is an
assertion that all BIGNUM functions tolerate non-minimal BIGNUMs now.
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
should be checked in review that they tolerate non-minimal BIGNUMs.
Subsequent CLs will start adjusting the widths that BIGNUM functions
output, to fix timing leaks.

Processing off-curve points is sufficiently dangerous to worry about
code that doesn't check the return value of
|EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates| and |EC_POINT_oct2point|. While we
have integrated on-curve checks into these functions, code that ignores
the return value will still be able to work with an invalid point
because it's already been installed in the output by the time the check
is done.
Instead, in the event of an off-curve point, set the output point to the
generator, which is certainly on the curve and hopefully safe.

p224-64.c can just write straight into the EC_POINT, as the other files
do, which saves the mess around BN_CTX. It's also more correct.
ec_point_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp abstracts out field_encode, but
then we would want to abstract out field_decode too when reading.
That then allows us to inline ec_point_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp
into ec_GFp_simple_point_set_affine_coordinates and get rid of an
unnecessary tower of helper functions. Also we can use the precomputed
value of one rather than recompute it each time.

The fiat-crypto-generated code uses the Montgomery form implementation
strategy, for both 32-bit and 64-bit code.
64-bit throughput seems slower, but the difference is smaller than noise between repetitions (-2%?)
32-bit throughput has decreased significantly for ECDH (-40%). I am
attributing this to the change from varibale-time scalar multiplication
to constant-time scalar multiplication. Due to the same bottleneck,
ECDSA verification still uses the old code (otherwise there would have
been a 60% throughput decrease). On the other hand, ECDSA signing
throughput has increased slightly (+10%), perhaps due to the use of a
precomputed table of multiples of the base point.

Along the way, this allows us to tidy up the invariants associated with
EC_SCALAR. They were fuzzy around ec_point_mul_scalar and some
computations starting from the digest in ECDSA. The latter I've put into
the type system with EC_LOOSE_SCALAR.
As for the former, Andres points out that particular EC implementations
are only good for scalars within a certain range, otherwise you may need
extra work to avoid the doubling case. To simplify curve
implementations, we reduce them fully rather than do the looser bit size
check, so they can have the stronger precondition to work with.

None of the asymmetric crypto we inherented from OpenSSL is
constant-time because of BIGNUM. BIGNUM chops leading zeros off the
front of everything, so we end up leaking information about the first
word, in theory. BIGNUM functions additionally tend to take the full
range of inputs and then call into BN_nnmod at various points.
All our secret values should be acted on in constant-time, but k in
ECDSA is a particularly sensitive value. So, ecdsa_sign_setup, in an
attempt to mitigate the BIGNUM leaks, would add a couple copies of the
order.
This does not work at all. k is used to compute two values: k^-1 and kG.
The first operation when computing k^-1 is to call BN_nnmod if k is out
of range. The entry point to our tuned constant-time curve
implementations is to call BN_nnmod if the scalar has too many bits,
which this causes. The result is both corrections are immediately undone
but cause us to do more variable-time work in the meantime.
Replace all these computations around k with the word-based functions
added in the various preceding CLs. In doing so, replace the BN_mod_mul
calls (which internally call BN_nnmod) with Montgomery reduction. We can
avoid taking k^-1 out of Montgomery form, which combines nicely with
Brian Smith's trick in 3426d10119. Along
the way, we avoid some unnecessary mallocs.
BIGNUM still affects the private key itself, as well as the EC_POINTs.
But this should hopefully be much better now. Also it's 10% faster:

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
