We don't enable the ECDSA recovery module, because we don't recommend
ECDSA recovery for new protocols. In particular, the recovery API is
prone to misuse: It invites the caller to forget to check the public
key (and the verification function always returns 1).
In general, we also don't recommend ordinary ECDSA for new protocols.
But disabling the ECDSA functions is not possible because they're not
in a module, and let's be honest: disabling ECDSA would mean to ignore
reality blatantly.
cabe085bb4 configure: Remove pkgconfig macros again (reintroduced by mismerge) (Tim Ruffing)

4cc0b1b669 ecmult_gen: Skip RNG when creating blinding if no seed is available (Tim Ruffing)
Pull request description:
Running the RNG is pointless if no seed is available because the key
will be fixed. The computation just wastes time.
Previously, users could avoid this computation at least by asking for
a context without signing capabilities. But since 3b0c218 we always
build an ecmult_gen context, ignoring the context flags. Moreover,
users could never avoid this pointless computation when asking for
the creation of a signing context.
This fixes one item in #1065.

Whenever I read this code, I first think that rescaling ctx->initial is
a dead store because we overwrite it later with gb. But that's wrong.
The rescaling blinds the computation of gb and affects its result.

40a3473a9d build: Fix #include "..." paths to get rid of further -I arguments (Tim Ruffing)
Pull request description:
This simplifies building without a build system.
This is in line with #925; the paths fixed here were either forgotten
there or only introduced later. This commit also makes the Makefile
stricter so that further "wrong" #include paths will lead to build
errors even in autotools builds.
This belongs to #929.

This commit also raises the TEST_ITERS for wine tasks to the default.
The overhead of wine is negligible, so we can certainly afford the same
number of iterations as for native Linux tests.
This adds MSVC builds built on Linux using wine. This requires some
settings of tools and flags because the autotools support for MSVC is
naturally somewhat limited.
The advantage of this approach is that it is compatible with our
existing CI scripts, so there's no need to write a Windows CI script
(in PowerShell or similar). If we want to test building and running on
Windows native (e.g., as supported by Cirrus CI) we could still do this
in the future.
Another advantage of this approach is that contributors can simply use
the docker image if they need a MSVC installation in a non-Windows
environment.
This commit also improves the Dockerfile by grouping RUN commands
according to Docker docs:

6f6cab9989 abi: Don't export symbols in static Windows libraries (Cory Fields)
Pull request description:
For context, Bitcoin Core has recently merged [libbitcoin-kernel](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/24322), a small library that intends to eventually minimally encompass Core's validation engine. This kernel lib includes a static libsecp256k1. Without this change, because libsecp256k1.a ends up with exported symbols, we end up with libsecp256k1 symbols exported by our libbitcoin-kernel library (which causes unrelated problems not worth getting into here).
libtool takes care of building both object versions, and it automatically builds objects for shared libs with -DDLL_EXPORT. We just need to opt-in to its functionality.
I can't imagine this having any negative impact on any current statically-linking applications, if anything they'll just be a tiny bit smaller because they can now strip unused symbols.

After further investigation I found that for RISC-V, macro `USE_ASM_X86_64` was defined unexpectedly, and `checking for x86_64 assembly availability... yes` appeared in the compilation log file, which means `SECP_64BIT_ASM_CHECK` was not working as expected.
For unknown reasons, `AC_COMPILE_IFELSE` does not check if `__asm__` can be compiled, and an example can verify this point:
```m4
AC_DEFUN([SECP_64BIT_ASM_CHECK],[
AC_MSG_CHECKING(for x86_64 assembly availability)
AC_COMPILE_IFELSE([AC_LANG_PROGRAM([[
#include <stdint.h>]],[[
__asm__ __volatile__("this is obviously wrong");
]])],[has_64bit_asm=yes],[has_64bit_asm=no])
AC_MSG_RESULT([$has_64bit_asm])
])
```
It always gives results: `checking for x86_64 assembly availability... yes`
After testing, replacing `AC_COMPILE_IFELSE` with `AC_LINK_IFELSE` can correctly check if `__asm__` can be compiled and make the project able to compile for RISC-V.
