Make use of the secp256k1 endormorphism #1

@davecgh

Description

@davecgh

The sec256k1 curve has an efficiently computable endomorphism which can be used to speed up the scalar point multiplications. See section 3.5 of Guide to Elliptic Curve Cryptography - Hankerson, Menezes, Vanstone for details.

btcec should be modified to make use of the endomorphism for further speedup.
