Instead of having the starting point of the ecmult_gen computation be
offset, do it with the final point. This enables reasoning over the
set of points reachable in intermediary computations, which can be
leveraged by potential future optimization.
Because the final point is in affine coordinates, its projective
blinding is no longer possible. It will be reintroduced again in
a different way, in a later commit.
Also introduce some more comments and more descriptive names.
Currently the `run_sqr` test doesn't do anything with the
result of the `fe_sqr` call. Improve that by checking that
the equation `(x+y)*(x-y) = x^2 - y^2` holds for some random
values y, as suggested in issue #1471 by real-or-random.
The existing loop for generating the x values is kept as-is.
`check_fe_equal` is a wrapper around `secp256k1_fe_equal` that takes
care of normalization. Since it doesn't check anything itself, the
CHECK macro is needed at the call-sites to actually ensure equality.
Without this commit, the res[i][1] test vectors are unused. They were introduced
to test the correctness of scalar_sqr(x) and scalar_mul(x, x). These tests were
deleted as part of removing scalar_sqr in commit
5437e7bdfb.

dc5514144f tests: simplify `random_fe_non_zero` (remove loop limit and unneeded normalize) (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
`random_fe_non_zero` contains a loop iteration limit that ensures that we abort if `random_fe` ever yielded zero more than ten times in a row. This construct was first introduced in PR #19 (commit 09ca4f32) for random non-square field elements and was later refactored into the non-zero helper in PR #25 (commit 6d6102fe). The copy-over to the exhaustive tests happened recently in PR #1118 (commit 0f864207).
This case seems to be practically irrelevant and I'd argue for keeping things simple and removing it (which was already suggested in https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/pull/1118#discussion_r1067259954); if there's really a worry that the test's random generator is heavily biased towards certain values or value ranges then there should consequently be checks at other places too (e.g. directly in `random_fe` for 256-bit values that repeatedly overflow, i.e. >= p).
Also, the _fe_normalize call is not needed and can be removed, as the result of `random_fe` is already normalized.

Also, the _fe_normalize call is not needed and can be removed, as the
result of `random_fe` is already normalized.
It is not neccessary for the second argument in `secp256k1_fe_equal_var`
(or `secp256k1_fe_equal`) to have magnitude = 1.
Hence, removed the `secp256k1_fe_normalize_weak` call for those argument.

This PR picks up #1032 by peterdettman. It's essentially a rebase on master; the original first commit (09dbba561fdb9d57a2cc9842ce041d9ba29a6189) which introduced group verification methods has mostly been replaced by PR #1299 (commit f20266722a) and what remains now is only adding a few missing checks at some places. The remaining commits are unchanged, though some (easy-to-solve) conflicts appeared through cherry-picking. The last commit which actually removes the `normalize_weak` calls is obviously the critical one and needs the most attention for review.

600c5adcd5 clean up in-comment Sage code (refer to secp256k1_params.sage, update to Python3) (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
Some of the C source files contain contain in-comment Sage code calculating secp256k1 parameters that are already defined in the file secp256k1_params.sage. Replace that by a corresponding load instruction and access the necessary variables. In ecdsa_impl.h, update the comment to use a one-line shell command calling sage to get the values.
The remaining code (test `test_add_neg_y_diff_x` in tests.c) is updated to work with a current version based on Python3 (Sage 9.0+, see https://wiki.sagemath.org/Python3-Switch).
The latter can be seen as a small follow-up to PR #849 (commit 13c88efed0).

There are several instances in the tests where random non-zero field
elements are generated by calling `random_fe_test` in a do/while-loop.
This commit deduplicates all these by introducing a
`random_fe_non_zero_test` helper. Note that some instances checked the
is-zero condition via `secp256k1_fe_normalizes_to_zero_var`, which is
unnecessary, as the result of `random_fe_test` is already normalized (so
strictly speaking, this is not a pure refactor).
There is a function `random_fe_test` which does exactly the
same, so use that instead. Note that it's also moved up before the
`random_group_element_test` function, in order to avoid needing a forward
declaration.

The recently merged ellswift PR (#1129) introduced a helper
`secp256k1_ge_x_on_curve_var` to check if a given X coordinate is
valid (i.e. the expression x^3 + 7 is square, see commit
79e5b2a8b8). This can be used for code
deduplication in the `ecmult_const_mult_xonly` test.
ade5b36701 tests: add checks for scalar constants `secp256k1_scalar_{zero,one}` (Sebastian Falbesoner)
654246c635 refactor: take use of `secp256k1_scalar_{zero,one}` constants (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
Rather than allocating a (non-constant) scalar variable on the stack with the sole purpose of setting it to a constant value, the global constants `secp256k1_scalar_{zero,one}` (apparently introduced in 34a67c773b, PR #710) can be directly used instead for the values 0 or 1. There is very likely not even a difference in run-time, but it leads to simpler and less code which might be nice.
