Add more explicit documentation about the relation between
EC_POINT_point2oct(), EC_POINT_point2hex(), EC_POINT_point2bn() and
their reverse.
In particular highlight that EC_POINT_point2oct() and
EC_POINT_oct2point() conform to, respectively, Sec. 2.3.3 and Sec. 2.3.4
of the SECG SEC 1 standard (which is the normative reference for the
already mentioned RFC 5480), highlighting with a note how this affect
the encoding/decoding of the point at infinity (which in contrast with
any other valid generic point of a curve is assigned an exceptional
fixed octet string encoding, i.e., 0x00).

In particular, x and y may be NULL, as used in ecdsa_ossl.c. Make use of
this in ecdh_ossl.c as well, to save an otherwise unnecessary temporary.
