This introduces the signed-digit multi-comb multiplication algorithm
for constant-time G multiplications (ecmult_gen). It is based on
section 3.3 of "Fast and compact elliptic-curve cryptography" by
Mike Hamburg (see https://eprint.iacr.org/2012/309).
Original implementation by Peter Dettman, with changes by Pieter Wuille
to use scalars for recoding, and additional comments.
This change eases the use of alternate build systems by moving
the variables in `src/libsecp256k1-config.h` to compiler macros
for each invocation, preventing duplication of these variables
for each build system.

After this commit, int128.h and int128_impl.h are included as follows:
- .c files which use int128 include int128_impl.h (after util.h)
- .h files which use int128 include int128.h (after util.h)
This list is exhaustive. util.h needs to included first because it sets
up necessary #defines.
