- EC_GROUP_cmp shouldn't consider curves equal just because
the curve name is the same. (They really *should* be the same
in this case, but there's an EC_GROUP_set_curve_name API,
which could be misused.)
- EC_POINT_cmp shouldn't return 0 for ERR_R_SHOULD_NOT_HAVE_BEEN_CALLED
or EC_R_INCOMPATIBLE_OBJECTS errors because in a cmp API, 0 indicates
equality (not an error).

(cherry picked from commit 312a46791ab465cfa3bf26764361faed0e5df014)
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.
- hide the EC_KEY structure definition in ec_lcl.c + add
some functions to use/access the EC_KEY fields
- change the way how method specific data (ecdsa/ecdh) is
attached to a EC_KEY
- add ECDSA_sign_ex and ECDSA_do_sign_ex functions with
additional parameters for pre-computed values
- rebuild libeay.num from 0.9.7
Remove certain redundant BN_zero() initialisations, because BN_CTX_get(),
BN_init(), [etc] already initialise to zero.
Correct error checking in bn_sqr.c, and be less wishy-wash about how/why
the result's 'top' value is set (note also, 'max' is always > 0 at this
point).
efficiency (EC_PRE_COMP objects are now constant once completed).
Extend 'extra_data' API to support arbitrarily many slots (although we
need only one at the moment).
Modify EC internal 'extra_data' API: EC_GROUP_[clear_]free_extra_data
now frees only a single slot (the previous functions are available as
EC_GROUP_[clear_]free_all_extra_data).

the new method names where _GF... suffixes have been removed.
Revert changes to ..._{get/set}_Jprojective_coordinates_...:
The current implementation for ECC over binary fields does not use
projective coordinates, and if it did, it would not use Jacobian
projective coordinates; so it's OK to use the ..._GFp prefix for all
this.
Add author attributions to some files so that it doesn't look
as if Sun wrote all of this :-)
EC_GROUP_{set_generator,get_generator,get_order,get_cofactor} are
implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched to
methods.
Also fix EC_GROUP_copy to copy the NID.
Add some WTLS curves.
New function EC_GROUP_check() (this will probably
be implemented differently soon).
