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.
Previous behaviour would not initialize r->y values in the case where infinity is passed in.
Furthermore, the previous behaviour wouldn't initialize anything in the case where all inputs were infinity.
This enables testing overflow is correctly encoded in the recid, and
likely triggers more edge cases.
Also introduce a Sage script to generate the parameters.

61d1ecb02847be9d65ffe9df2d2408d85f3a0711 Added test with additions resulting in infinity (Elichai Turkel)
Pull request description:
Currently if `secp256k1_gej_add_var` / `secp256k1_gej_add_ge_var` /` secp256k1_gej_add_zinv_var` receive `P + (-P)` it will set `gej->infinity = 1` but doesn't call initialize the field elements.
Notice that this is the only branch in the function that results in an uninitialized output.
By using `secp256k1_gej_set_infinity()` it will set the field elements to zero while also setting the infinity flag.
I also added a test that fails with valgrind on current master but passes with the fix.
EDIT: This isn't a bug or something necessary, I just personally found this helpful.

ECMULT_CONST_TABLE_GET_GE was branching on its secret input.
Also makes secp256k1_gej_double_var implemented as a wrapper
on secp256k1_gej_double_nonzero instead of the other way
around. This wasn't a constant time bug but it was fragile
and could easily become one in the future if the double_var
algorithm is changed.

Identifiers starting with an underscore and followed immediately by a capital letter are reserved by the C++ standard.
The only header guards not fixed are those in the headers auto-generated from java.
If you compile without ./configure --enable-exhaustive-tests=no,
this will create a binary ./exhaustive_tests which will execute
every function possible on a group of small order obtained by
moving to a twist of our curve and locating a generator of small
order.
Currently defaults to order 13, though by changing some #ifdefs
you can get a couple other ones. (Currently 199, which will take
forever to run, and 14, which won't work because it's composite.)
TODO exhaustive tests for the various modules
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 makes it more clear that a null check is intended. Avoiding the
use of a pointer as a test condition alse increases the type-safety
of the comparisons.
