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.
bef448f9af cmake: Fix library ABI versioning (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
This change emulates Libtool to make sure Libtool and CMake agree on the ABI version.
To test, one needs to simulate a release with backward-compatible API changes, which means the following changes in `configure.ac` and `CMakeLists.txt`:
- incrementing of `*_LIB_VERSION_CURRENT`
- setting `*_LIB_VERSION_REVISION` to zero
- incrementing of `*_LIB_VERSION_AGE`

An executable target in the `COMMAND` option will automatically be
replaced by the location of the executable created at build time.
This change fixes tests for Windows binaries using Wine.

69e1ec0331 Get rid of secp256k1_fe_const_b (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
Replaces #1282.
Its only remaining use is in a test introduced in #1118, and it is easily replaced by the new `secp256k1_fe_add_int` from #1217.
