Merge bitcoin#647: Increase robustness against UB in secp256k1_scalar…
…_cadd_bit 0d82732 Improve VERIFY_CHECK of overflow in secp256k1_scalar_cadd_bit. This added check ensures that any curve order overflow doesn't go undetected due a uint32_t overflow. (Russell O'Connor) 8fe63e5 Increase robustness against UB. Thanks to elichai2 who noted that the literal '1' is a signed integer, and that shifting a signed 32-bit integer by 31 bits causes an overflow and yields undefined behaviour. While 'scalar_low_impl''s 'secp256k1_scalar_cadd_bit' is only used for testing purposes and currently the 'bit' parameter is only 0 or 1, it is better to avoid undefined behaviour in case the used domain of 'secp256k1_scalar_cadd_bit' expands. (roconnor-blockstream) Pull request description: Avoid possible, but unlikely undefined behaviour in `scalar_low_impl`'s `secp256k1_scalar_cadd_bit`. Thanks to elichai2 who noted that the literal `1` is a signed integer, and that shifting a signed 32-bit integer by 31 bits causes an overflow and yields undefined behaviour. Using the unsigned literal `1u` addresses the issue.
