This is a backwards-compatible API change: Before this commit, a context
initialized for signing was required to call functions that rely on
ecmult_gen. After this commit, this is no longer necessary because the
static ecmult_gen table is always present. In practice this means that
the corresponding functions will just work instead of calling the
illegal callback when given a context which is not (officially)
initialized for signing.
This is in line with 6815761, which made the analogous change with
respect to ecmult and contexts initialized for signing. But as opposed
to 681571, which removed the ecmult context entirely, we cannot remove
the ecmult_gen context entirely because it is still used for random
blinding. Moreover, since the secp256k1_context_no_precomp context is
const and cannot meaningfully support random blinding, we refrain (for
now) from changing its API, i.e., the illegal callback will still be
called when trying to use ecmult_gen operations with the static
secp256k1_context_no_precomp context.
BIP340's default signing algorithm always requires an aux_rnd argument,
but permits using an all-zero one when no randomness is available.
Make secp256k1_schnorrsig_sign follow this even when aux_rnd32==NULL,
by treating the same as if an all-zero byte array was provided as
input.

Pull request description:
In Elements 22 the linter looks for executable files that don't have a properly-formed shebang. For some reason it wants `/usr/bin/env bash` rather than `/bin/bash`, and also one of our source files was erroneously 755.

f4edfc758142d6e100ca5d086126bf532b8a7020 Improve consistency for NULL arguments in the public interface (Elichai Turkel)
Pull request description:
I went over the public API and added missing explanations on when a pointer can be null and when it cannot,
and added some missing checks for null ctx and null pubkey pointers.
Open questions IMHO:
1. Can `secp256k1_context_create` return NULL? right now it could return null if you replaced the callbacks at compile time to ones that do return(unlike the default ones which never return).
2. Related to the first, should we document that the callbacks should never return? (in the tests we use returning callbacks but we can violate our own API) right now we say the following:
> After this callback returns, anything may happen, including crashing.
Is this enough to document answer `no` for the first question and just saying that if the callback returned then you violated the API so `secp256k1_context_create` can return NULL even though it is promised not to?
Right now we AFAICT we never check if it returns null
Another nit I'm not sure about is wording `(does nothing if NULL)`/`(ignored if NULL)`/`(can be NULL)`
More missing docs:
1. Documenting the `data` argument to the default nonce functions

Also add a specific test that fails adaptor sig deserialization because with the
correct size buffer that's not guaranteed anymore with the existing test.
Previously the ECDSA signature had an overflowing s value, which after the sync
with upstream results in a failing VERIFY_CHECK in the inversion function.
However, normally parsed signatures shouldn't contain overflowing s values.
unsigned char foo[4] = "abcd" is not valid C++ because the string
literal "abcd" does not fit into foo due to the terminating NUL
character. This is valid in C, it will just omit the NUL character.
Fixes#962.
Varlen message support for the default sign function comes from recommending
tagged_sha256. sign_custom on the other hand gets the ability to directly sign
message of any length. This also implies signing and verification support for
the empty message (NULL) with msglen 0.
Tests for variable lengths follow in a later commit.
This makes the default sign function easier to use while allowing more granular
control through sign_custom.
Tests for sign_custom follow in a later commit.
