This uses AM_PROG_AR to discover ar, which is the recommended way to do
so. Among other advantages, it honors the AR environment variable (as
set from the outside). The macro has been around since automake 1.11.2
(Dec 2011).
This commit also removes code that discovers ranlib and strip. ranlib
has been obsolete for decades (ar does its task now automatically), and
anyway LT_INIT takes care of discovering it. The code we used to set
STRIP was last mentioned in the automake 1.5 manual. Since automake 1.6
(Mar 2002), strip is discovered automatically when necessary (look for
the *private* macro AM_PROG_INSTALL_STRIP in the automake manual).
- Improve Makefile.am for both prebuilt tables files
- On the way, tidy EXTRA_DIST: Move the header files to noinst_HEADERS,
where they conceptually belong, and add missing SECURITY.md to EXTRA_DIST
This header contains a static array that replaces the ecmult_context pre_g and pre_g_128 tables.
The gen_ecmult_static_pre_g program generates this header file.
This removes the ununsed `obj` directory. It also suggests in the README
to create the "coverage" files in a separate directory and adds the
coverage files to .gitignore.

Pull request description:
This PR implements signing, verification and batch verification as described in [BIP-340](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0340.mediawiki) in an experimental module named `schnorrsig`. It includes the test vectors and a benchmarking tool.
This PR also adds a module `extrakeys` that allows [BIP-341](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0341.mediawiki)-style key tweaking.
(Adding ChaCha20 as a CSPRNG and batch verification was moved to PR #760).
In order to enable the module run `./configure` with `--enable-experimental --enable-module-schnorrsig`.
Based on apoelstra's work.

Valgrind does bit-level tracking of the "uninitialized" status of memory,
property tracks memory which is tainted by any uninitialized memory, and
warns if any branch or array access depends on an uninitialized bit.
That is exactly the verification we need on secret data to test for
constant-time behaviour. All we need to do is tell valgrind our
secret key is actually uninitialized memory.
This adds a valgrind_ctime_test which is compiled if valgrind is installed:
Run it with libtool --mode=execute:
$ libtool --mode=execute valgrind ./valgrind_ctime_test
We observe that when changing the b-value in the elliptic curve formula
`y^2 = x^3 + ax + b`, the group law is unchanged. Therefore our functions
for secp256k1 will be correct if and only if they are correct when applied
to the curve defined by `y^2 = x^3 + 4` defined over the same field. This
curve has a point P of order 199.
This commit adds a test which computes the subgroup generated by P and
exhaustively checks that addition of every pair of points gives the correct
result.
Unfortunately we cannot test const-time scalar multiplication by the same
mechanism. The reason is that these ecmult functions both compute a wNAF
representation of the scalar, and this representation is tied to the order
of the group.
Testing with the incomplete version of gej_add_ge (found in 5de4c5dff^)
shows that this detects the incompleteness when adding P - 106P, which
is exactly what we expected since 106 is a cube root of 1 mod 199.
This vastly shrinks the size of the context required for signing on devices with
memory-mapped Flash.
Tables are generated by the new gen_context tool into a header.
