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.

Adding new libraries
--------------------
When adding a new sub-library to OpenSSL, assign it a library number
ERR_LIB_XXX, define a macro XXXerr() (both in err.h), add its
name to ERR_str_libraries[] (in crypto/err/err.c), and add
ERR_load_XXX_strings() to the ERR_load_crypto_strings() function
(in crypto/err/err_all.c). Finally, add an entry:
L XXX xxx.h xxx_err.c
to crypto/err/openssl.ec, and add xxx_err.c to the Makefile.
Running make errors will then generate a file xxx_err.c, and
add all error codes used in the library to xxx.h.
Additionally the library include file must have a certain form.
Typically it will initially look like this:
#ifndef HEADER_XXX_H
#define HEADER_XXX_H
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
/* Include files */
#include <openssl/bio.h>
#include <openssl/x509.h>
/* Macros, structures and function prototypes */
/* BEGIN ERROR CODES */
The BEGIN ERROR CODES sequence is used by the error code
generation script as the point to place new error codes, any text
after this point will be overwritten when make errors is run.
The closing #endif etc will be automatically added by the script.
The generated C error code file xxx_err.c will load the header
files stdio.h, openssl/err.h and openssl/xxx.h so the
header file must load any additional header files containing any
definitions it uses.
