[EFD][]. At least at the moment, we're only interested in ECDSA with
the NIST prime curves, so we use algorithms optimized for a=-3.

+The point multiplication algorithm is a straightforward double-and-add
loop, which is not the fastest possible algorithm, but is relatively
easy to confirm by inspection as being constant-time within the limits
imposed by the NIST curves. Point multiplication could probably be
