the two middle arguments to fread() are easily confused, and cause the
checking of return value to fail incorrectly (and possibly succeed
incorrectly.)

Make sure we get the requested number of bytes from `/dev/urandom`.
Tree-SHA512: 1b035942fd2a6ee2423fb2a2a0a0f294682c51434f86e5c106fb493d77f45aa8070662190aca6441fe389b8cdcc132d432517b8e826be2ac530a1511cd0c8919
The only reason OpenSSL 1.1 was not supported was the removal of direct
access to r and s in ECDSA_SIG. This commit adds a simplified version of
ECDSA_SIG_get0 for < 1.1 that can be used like ECDSA_SIG_get0 in >= 1.1
These were generated by testing more than 10^12 random test vectors
for coverage on instrumented (comparison operator outcomes) 32-bit
and 64-bit code, plus additional edge condition requirements (e.g.
inputs of 0, 1, -1) and then solving a minimum set cover problem.
The required responses were generated with Sage.
This significantly improves the lcov branch coverage report and
makes the tests much more sensitive to mutation testing of the
scalar code.
The challenges and responses are in the form of pairs of scalars:
C1 * C2 == R1
(C1 * C2) * (1 / C2) == C1
C2 * (1 / C2) == 1
C1 * C1 == R2
C1^2 == R2
Makes secp256k1_ec_pubkey_serialize set the length to zero on failure,
also makes secp256k1_ec_pubkey_create set the pubkey to zeros when
the key argument is NULL.
Also adds many additional ARGCHECK tests.
These functions are intended for compatibility with legacy software,
and are not normally needed in new secp256k1 applications.
They also do not obeying any particular standard (and likely cannot
without without undermining their compatibility), and so are a
better fit for contrib.
This avoids data=NULL and data = zeros to producing the same nonce.
Previously the code tried to avoid the case where some data inputs
aliased algo16 inputs by always padding out the data.
But because algo16 and data are different lengths they cannot
emulate each other, and the padding would match a data value of
all zeros.
ECDSA signature verification now requires normalized signatures (with S in the
lower half of the range). In case the input cannot be guaranteed to provide this,
a new function secp256k1_ecdsa_signature_normalize is provided to preprocess it.
There are now 2 encoding formats supported: 64-byte "compact" and DER.
The latter is strict: the data has to be exact DER, though the values
inside don't need to be valid.
