ECDSA: remove nonce padding (delegated to EC_POINT_mul)
* EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for constant time point multiplication
(for single fixed or variable point multiplication, when the scalar is
in the range [0,group_order), so we need to strip the nonce padding
from ECDSA.
* Entry added to CHANGES
* Updated EC_POINT_mul documentation
- Integrate existing EC_POINT_mul and EC_POINTs_mul entries in the
manpage to reflect the shift in constant-time expectations when
performing a single fixed or variable point multiplication;
- Add documentation to ec_method_st to reflect the updated "contract"
between callers and implementations of ec_method_st.mul.
