4afec9f Build benchmarks by default (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
Building benchmarks is fast, and I have on more than one occasion forgotten to pass `--enable-benchmark`, resulting in accidentally benchmarking a former build.
Build them by default.

Pull request description:
This PR is based on #473 and adds a variant of "Pippengers algorithm" (see [Bernstein et al., Faster batch forgery identification](https://eprint.iacr.org/2012/549.pdf), page 15 and https://github.com/scipr-lab/libff/pull/10) for point multi-multiplication that performs better with a large number of points than Strauss' algorithm.
Thanks to @sipa for providing `wnaf_fixed`, benchmarking, and the crucial suggestion to use affine addition.
The PR also makes `ecmult_multi` decide which algorithm to use, based on the number of points and the available scratch space.
For restricted scratch spaces this can be further optimized in the future (f.e. a 35kB scratch space allows batches of 11 points with strauss or 95 points with pippenger; choosing pippenger would be 5% faster).
As soon as this PR has received some feedback I'll repeat the benchmarks to determine the optimal `pippenger_bucket_window` with the new benchmarking code in #473.

abe2d3e Fix header guards using reserved identifiers (Dan Raviv)
Pull request description:
Identifiers starting with an underscore and followed immediately by a capital letter are reserved by the C++ standard.
The only header guards not fixed are those in the headers auto-generated from java.

bc61b91 add pubkey prefix constants to include/secp256k1.h (Andrew Poelstra)
Pull request description:
In future multisig implementations we will need to pass nonces around, which are algebraically pubkeys but should not be decodable as pubkeys. The way to do this is to change the prefix byte from the ordinary 0x02/0x03 to something else. However, some forks (notably `secp256k1-zkp`) have started using some bytes for their own encodings, and if we continue to use hardcoded constants the risk of conflict is increased.
This commit puts the prefixes used by the main library into the `include/secp256k1.h` so that the constants we're using will at least be in a standard easy-to-reference place.

_get was reversed from the patch because this order appeared

I think I summarized it correctly after IRC discussion with gmaxwell
and andytoshi; I didn't know it existed :(
It's regrettable to expose this level of detail, but users need to know
this to make a decision about how to use it.
