The function EC_POINT_is_on_curve does not return a boolean value.
It returns 1 if the point is on the curve, 0 if it is not, and -1
on error. Many usages within OpenSSL were incorrectly using this
function and therefore not correctly handling error conditions.
With thanks to the Open Crypto Audit Project for reporting this issue.

(cherry picked from commit 68886be7e2)
Move compression, point2oct and oct2point functions into separate files.
Add a flags field to EC_METHOD.
Add a flag EC_FLAGS_DEFAULT_OCT to use the default compession and oct functions
(all existing methods do this). This removes dependencies from EC_METHOD while
keeping original functionality.
Backport from HEAD with minor changes.
