By default `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (which uses the Lopez-Dahab ladder implementation) is used only for (k * Generator) or (k * VariablePoint). ECDSA verification uses (a * Generator + b * VariablePoint): this commit forces the use of `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` also for the ECDSA verification path, while using the default wNAF implementation for any other case. With this commit `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` loses the static attribute, and is added to ec_lcl.h so EC_METHODs can directly use it. While working on a new custom EC_POINTs_mul implementation, I realized that many checks (e.g. all the points being compatible with the given EC_GROUP, creating a temporary BN_CTX if `ctx == NULL`, check for the corner case `scalar == NULL && num == 0`) were duplicated again and again in every single implementation (and actually some implementations lacked some of the tests). I thought that it makes way more sense for those checks that are independent from the actual implementation and should always be done, to be moved in the EC_POINTs_mul wrapper: so this commit also includes these changes.
