This reuses wnaf.c's window scheduling, but has access to the tuned
field arithemetic and pre-computed base point table. Unlike wnaf.c, we
do not make the points affine as it's not worth it for a single table.
(We already precomputed the base point table.)
Annoyingly, 32-bit x86 gets slower by a bit, but the other platforms are
faster. My guess is that that the generic code gets to use the
bn_mul_mont assembly and the compiler, faced with the increased 32-bit
register pressure and the extremely register-poor x86, is making
bad decisions on the otherwise P-256-tuned C code. The three platforms
that see much larger gains are significantly more important than 32-bit
x86 at this point, so go with this change.
