OpenSSL's EVP-level EC API involves a separate "paramgen" operation,
which is ultimately just a roundabout way to go from a NID to an
EC_GROUP. But Node uses this, and it's the pattern used within OpenSSL
these days, so this appears to be the official upstream recommendation.
Also add a #define for OPENSSL_EC_EXPLICIT_CURVE, because Node uses it,
but fail attempts to use it. Explicit curve encodings are forbidden by
RFC 5480 and generally a bad idea. (Parsing such keys back into OpenSSL
will cause it to lose the optimized path.)
