Recent compilers compile the two new functions to very efficient code
on various platforms. In particular, already GCC >= 5 and clang >= 5
understand do this for the read function, which is the one critical
for performance (called 16 times per SHA256 transform).
Fixes#1080.

As identified in #829 and #833. Fixes#829.
Since we touch this anyway, this commit additionally makes the
identifiers in the benchmark files a little bit more consistent.
8bc6aeffa9a191e677cb9e3a22fff130f16990f3 Add SHA256 selftest (Pieter Wuille)
5e5fb28b4a45d7e35e55b5f5feead2be07bccc28 Use additional system macros to figure out endianness (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
These are all the architecture macros I could find with known endianness. Use those as a fallback when __BYTE_ORDER__ isn't available.
See https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/pull/787#issuecomment-673764652
It also adds a SHA256 selftest, so that improperly overriding the endianness detection will be detected at runtime.

ACK 8bc6aeffa9a191e677cb9e3a22fff130f16990f3 I read the diff, and tested that the self-test passes/fails with/without the correct endianness setting
gmaxwell:
ACK 8bc6aeffa9a191e677cb9e3a22fff130f16990f3 looks good and I also ran the tests on MIPS-BE and verified that forcing it to LE makes the runtime test fail.

0dccf98a21beb245f6cd9ed76fb7368529df09c7 Use preprocessor macros instead of autoconf to detect endianness (Tim Ruffing)
Pull request description:
This does not fix any particular issue but it's preferable to not
rely on autoconf. This avoids endianness mess for users on BE hosts
if they use their build without autoconf.
The macros are carefully written to err on the side of the caution,
e.g., we #error if the user manually configures a different endianness
than what we detect.
Supersedes #770 .

Instead of supporting configuration of the field and scalar size independently,
both are now controlled by the availability of a 64x64->128 bit multiplication
(currently only through __int128). This is autodetected from the C code through
__SIZEOF_INT128__, but can be overridden using configure's
--with-test-override-wide-multiply, or by defining
USE_FORCE_WIDEMUL_{INT64,INT128} manually.
This has been not been caught by the new constant-time tests because
valgrind currently gives us a zero exit code even if finds errors, see
https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/pull/723#discussion_r388246806 .
This commit also simplifies the arithmetic in memczero.
Note that the timing leak here was the bit whether a secret key was
out of range. This leak is harmless and not exploitable. It is just
our overcautious practice to prefer constant-time code even here.
There were several places where the code was non-constant time
for invalid secret inputs. These are harmless under sane use
but get in the way of automatic const-time validation.
(Nonce overflow in signing is not addressed, nor is s==0 in
signing)
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.
