Pull request description:
This resolves#893, resolves#692 (and also resolvesbitcoin/bitcoin#22854).
- [x] Extract table generation to separate function in separate file (to be used by generation script and exhaustive tests)
- [x] Tidy up
- [x] Remove code that deals with non-static tables
- [x] Make functions that need ecmult_gen not depend on signing context
- [x] Rename stuff to make it fit the new structure and consistent with how we hande verification tables (#956)
- [x] Fix exhaustive tests
- [x] Make table generation function take generator as input
- [x] Overwrite the static tables with a table with custom generator in exhaustive tests
- [x] Overhaul script that generates table files
- [x] Make table generation function take PREC_BITS as input (I have some code already, just not yet in this branch)
- [x] Change generation script to generate three tables (for all three values of ECMULT_GEN_PREC_BITS)
- [x] Ship pre-built tables
- [x] Add pregenerated table file to repo
- [x] Remove generation of table file from build process (like in #956)
- [x] Remove left-over stuff (e.g., detecting a compiler running on the build machine) from build system
- [x] Final cleanups (copyright headers, commit, messages, etc.)
- [ ] (separate PR:) Make sure link-time optimization remove corresponding static tables (and code) when no signing/verifcation function is called
- [ ] (separate PR:) Compile precomputation as a separate object file and link it (https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/pull/988#issuecomment-977813538)
- [ ] (separate PR:) Document the backwards-compatible API changes made in this PR and in #956.
- [ ] Maybe deprecate the static context

The experiment of using Nix Shell was not really successful. Most
notably, Nix uses a bunch of wrapper scripts around compilers, which
make the build much less "pure". This may be useful but it's exactly
not what we want for CI. In particular, this resulted in gcc being used
for the "clang" builds because a wrapper script redefined the CC env
variable.
This now builds a single docker image (Debian) for all architectures
that we test in CI on Linux.
