Make secp256k1_ecmult_const handle infinity
Infinity isn't currently needed here, but correctly handling it is a little more safe against future changes. Update docs for it to make it clear that it is not constant time in A (the input point). It never was constant time in Q (and would be a little complicated to make constant time in A). If it was later made constant time in A, infinity support would be easy to preserve, e.g. by running it on a dummy value and cmoving infinity into the output.
