Brian Smith ef18746ad4 Remove unused code for multiple-point ECC multiplication.
The points are only converted to affine form when there are at least
three points being multiplied (in addition to the generator), but there
never is more than one point, so this is all dead code.

Also, I doubt that the comments "...point at infinity (which normally
shouldn't happen)" in the deleted code are accurate. And, the
projective->affine conversions that were removed from p224-64.c and
p256-64.c didn't seem to properly account for the possibility that any of
those points were at infinity.

/* This function looks at 5+1 scalar bits (5 current, 1 adjacent less
* significant bit), and recodes them into a signed digit for use in fast point
* multiplication: the use of signed rather than unsigned digits means that
* fewer points need to be precomputed, given that point inversion is easy (a
* precomputed point dP makes -dP available as well).
*
* BACKGROUND:
*
* Signed digits for multiplication were introduced by Booth ("A signed binary
* multiplication technique", Quart. Journ. Mech. and Applied Math., vol. IV,
* pt. 2 (1951), pp. 236-240), in that case for multiplication of integers.
* Booth's original encoding did not generally improve the density of nonzero
* digits over the binary representation, and was merely meant to simplify the
* handling of signed factors given in two's complement; but it has since been
* shown to be the basis of various signed-digit representations that do have
* further advantages, including the wNAF, using the following general
* approach:
*
* (1) Given a binary representation
*
* b_k ... b_2 b_1 b_0,
*
* of a nonnegative integer (b_k in {0, 1}), rewrite it in digits 0, 1, -1
* by using bit-wise subtraction as follows:
*
* b_k b_(k-1) ... b_2 b_1 b_0
* - b_k ... b_3 b_2 b_1 b_0
* -------------------------------------
* s_k b_(k-1) ... s_3 s_2 s_1 s_0
*
* A left-shift followed by subtraction of the original value yields a new
* representation of the same value, using signed bits s_i = b_(i+1) - b_i.
* This representation from Booth's paper has since appeared in the
* literature under a variety of different names including "reversed binary
* form", "alternating greedy expansion", "mutual opposite form", and
* "sign-alternating {+-1}-representation".
*
* An interesting property is that among the nonzero bits, values 1 and -1
* strictly alternate.
*
* (2) Various window schemes can be applied to the Booth representation of
* integers: for example, right-to-left sliding windows yield the wNAF
* (a signed-digit encoding independently discovered by various researchers
* in the 1990s), and left-to-right sliding windows yield a left-to-right
* equivalent of the wNAF (independently discovered by various researchers
* around 2004).
*
* To prevent leaking information through side channels in point multiplication,
* we need to recode the given integer into a regular pattern: sliding windows
* as in wNAFs won't do, we need their fixed-window equivalent -- which is a few
* decades older: we'll be using the so-called "modified Booth encoding" due to
* MacSorley ("High-speed arithmetic in binary computers", Proc. IRE, vol. 49
* (1961), pp. 67-91), in a radix-2^5 setting. That is, we always combine five
* signed bits into a signed digit:
*
* s_(4j + 4) s_(4j + 3) s_(4j + 2) s_(4j + 1) s_(4j)
*
* The sign-alternating property implies that the resulting digit values are
* integers from -16 to 16.
*
* Of course, we don't actually need to compute the signed digits s_i as an
* intermediate step (that's just a nice way to see how this scheme relates
* to the wNAF): a direct computation obtains the recoded digit from the
* six bits b_(4j + 4) ... b_(4j - 1).
*
* This function takes those five bits as an integer (0 .. 63), writing the
* recoded digit to *sign (0 for positive, 1 for negative) and *digit (absolute
* value, in the range 0 .. 8). Note that this integer essentially provides the
* input bits "shifted to the left" by one position: for example, the input to
* compute the least significant recoded digit, given that there's no bit b_-1,
* has to be b_4 b_3 b_2 b_1 b_0 0. */
