make ECMULT_GEN_PREC_BITS configurable

ecmult_static_context.h: add compile time config assertion (#3) - Prevents accidentally using a file which was generated with a
different configuration.

README: mention valgrind issue

With --with-ecmult-gen-precision=8, valgrind needs a max stack size
adjustment to not run into a stack switching heuristic:

http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/manual-core.html

> -max-stackframe= [default: 2000000]
> The maximum size of a stack frame. If the stack pointer moves by more than this amount then Valgrind will assume that the program is switching to a different stack.
You may need to use this option if your program has large stack-allocated arrays.

basic-config: undef ECMULT_WINDOW_SIZE before (re-)defining it

/* For accelerating the computation of a*G:
* To harden against timing attacks, use the following mechanism:
* * Break up the multiplicand into groups of 4 bits, called n_0, n_1, n_2, ..., n_63.
* * Compute sum(n_i * 16^i * G + U_i, i=0..63), where:
* * U_i = U * 2^i (for i=0..62)
* * U_i = U * (1-2^63) (for i=63)
* where U is a point with no known corresponding scalar. Note that sum(U_i, i=0..63) = 0.
* For each i, and each of the 16 possible values of n_i, (n_i * 16^i * G + U_i) is
* precomputed (call it prec(i, n_i)). The formula now becomes sum(prec(i, n_i), i=0..63).
* * Break up the multiplicand into groups of PREC_B bits, called n_0, n_1, n_2, ..., n_(PREC_N-1).
* * Compute sum(n_i * (PREC_G)^i * G + U_i, i=0 ... PREC_N-1), where:
* * U_i = U * 2^i, for i=0 ... PREC_N-2
* * U_i = U * (1-2^(PREC_N-1)), for i=PREC_N-1
* where U is a point with no known corresponding scalar. Note that sum(U_i, i=0 ... PREC_N-1) = 0.
* For each i, and each of the PREC_G possible values of n_i, (n_i * (PREC_G)^i * G + U_i) is
* precomputed (call it prec(i, n_i)). The formula now becomes sum(prec(i, n_i), i=0 ... PREC_N-1).
* None of the resulting prec group elements have a known scalar, and neither do any of
* the intermediate sums while computing a*G.
