47a7b8382fd6f1458d859b315cf3bcd3b9790b68 Clear field elements when writing infinity (Elichai Turkel)
61d1ecb02847be9d65ffe9df2d2408d85f3a0711 Added test with additions resulting in infinity (Elichai Turkel)
Pull request description:
Currently if `secp256k1_gej_add_var` / `secp256k1_gej_add_ge_var` /` secp256k1_gej_add_zinv_var` receive `P + (-P)` it will set `gej->infinity = 1` but doesn't call initialize the field elements.
Notice that this is the only branch in the function that results in an uninitialized output.
By using `secp256k1_gej_set_infinity()` it will set the field elements to zero while also setting the infinity flag.
I also added a test that fails with valgrind on current master but passes with the fix.
EDIT: This isn't a bug or something necessary, I just personally found this helpful.

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 looks good and I also ran the tests on MIPS-BE and verified that forcing it to LE makes the runtime test fail.

Pull request description:
This PR increases the general robustness of scratch spaces. It does not fix an existing vulnerability because scratch spaces aren't used anywhere in master. Additionally, it must be prevented anyway that an attacker has (indirect) control over the arguments touched in this PR.

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.
So far this has not been needed, as it's only used by the static precomputation
which always builds with 32-bit fields.
This prepares for the ability to have __int128 detected on the C side, breaking
that restriction.

6bb0b77e158fc2f9e56e4b65b08bcb660d4c588b Fix test_constant_wnaf for -1 and add a test for it. (Jonas Nick)
Pull request description:
There currently is a single branch in the `ecmul_const` function that is not being exercised by the tests. This branch is unreachable and therefore I'm suggesting to remove it.
For your convenience the paper the wnaf algorithm can be found [here (The Width-w NAF Method Provides Small Memory and Fast Elliptic Scalar Multiplications Secure against Side Channel Attacks)](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.563.1267&rep=rep1&type=pdf). Similarly, unless I'm missing something important, I don't see how their algorithm needs to consider `sign(u[i-1])` unless `d` can be negative - which doesn't make much sense to me either.
