Bug 1631573: Remove unnecessary scalar padding in ec.c r=kjacobs,bbeurdouche
Subsequent calls to ECPoints_mul and ECPoint_mul remove this padding.
Timing attack countermeasures are now applied more generally deeper in
the call stack.

- ** How do we convert k to a value of a fixed bit-length?

- ** n <= k+n < 2n, which means k+n has either the same number
- ** of bits as n or one more bit than n. If k+n has the same
- ** number of bits as n, the second addition ensures that the
- ** final value has exactly one more bit than n. Thus, we
