We were still using the allocating scalar inversion for ECDSA verify
because previously it seemed to be faster. It appears to have flipped
now, though probably was always just a wash.
While I'm here, save a multiplication by swapping the inversion and
Montgomery reduction.
Did 200000 ECDSA P-256 signing operations in 10025749us (19948.6 ops/sec)
Did 66234 ECDSA P-256 verify operations in 10061123us (6583.2 ops/sec)
Did 202000 ECDSA P-256 signing operations in 10020846us (20158.0 ops/sec)
Did 68052 ECDSA P-256 verify operations in 10020592us (6791.2 ops/sec)
The actual motivation is to get rid of the unchecked EC_SCALAR function
and align sign/verify in preparation for the assembly scalar ops.
