The magnitude of the f and g variables generally goes down as the algorithm
progresses. Make use of this by keeping tracking how many limbs are used, and
when the number becomes small enough, make use of this to reduce the complexity
of arithmetic on them.
Refactored by: Pieter Wuille <pieter@wuille.net>
Both the field and scalar modulus can be written in signed{30,62} notation
with one or more zero limbs. Make use of this in the update_de function to
avoid a few wide multiplications when that is the case.
This doesn't appear to be a win in the 32-bit implementation, so only
do it for the 64-bit one.
Add a new run_inverse_tests that replaces all existing field/scalar inverse tests,
and tests a few identities for fixed inputs, small numbers (-999...999), random
inputs (structured and unstructured), as well as comparing with the output of
secp256k1_fe_inv_all_var.
This commit adds functions to verify and compare numbers in signed{30,62} notation,
and uses that to do more extensive bounds checking on various variables in the modinv
code.
This adds tests for the modinv{32,64}_impl.h directly (before the functions are used
inside the field/scalar code). It uses a naive implementation of modular multiplication
and gcds in order to verify the modular inverses themselves.
This adds a long comment explaining the algorithm and implementation choices by building
it up step by step in Python.
Comments in the code are also reworked/added, with references to the long explanation.

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.

This compiler flag is available for clang but not gcc.
Test plan:
```
autogen.sh
./configure
make check
CC=clang ./configure
make check
```
If a variable is used uninitialized, the warning should look something
like:
```
CC src/tests-tests.o
src/tests.c:4336:15: warning: variable 'recid' may be uninitialized when used here [-Wconditional-uninitialized]
CHECK(recid >= 0 && recid < 4);
^~~~~
./src/util.h:54:18: note: expanded from macro 'CHECK'
if (EXPECT(!(cond), 0)) { \
^~~~
./src/util.h:41:39: note: expanded from macro 'EXPECT'
^
src/tests.c:4327:14: note: initialize the variable 'recid' to silence this warning
int recid;
^
= 0
1 warning generated.
```
This was detected while running the tests with the `-Wconditional-uninitialized` flag
```
./autogen.sh
CC=clang CFLAGS="-Wconditional-uninitialized" ./configure
make check
```
The resulting warning is a false positive, but setting the value to -1
ensures that the CHECK below will fail if recid is never written to.

See individual commit messages. These are improvements in preparation of the switch to Cirrus CI. (Maybe I'll just open a PR on top of this one.)
The first commit made the difference between successful build https://cirrus-ci.com/task/6740575057608704 and unsuccessful build https://cirrus-ci.com/task/4909571074424832.
I've tested the second commit without cross-compilation and with cross-compilation for android (https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/issues/621#issuecomment-495703399)
When working on the autoconf stuff, I noticed two things that I just want to write down here:
- At some point we should update [build-aux/m4/ax_prog_cc_for_build.m4](https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_prog_cc_for_build.html). This is outdated, and [there have been a lot of fixes](https://github.com/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive/pull/207) But the latest version is [broken](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-archive-maintainers/2020-06/msg00002.html), so now is probably not the time.
- The latest autoconf 2.70 deprecates `AC_PROG_CC_C89`. It's not needed anymore because `AC_PROG_CC` cares about testing for version support. This makes autoconf 2.70 output a warning that we should probably just ignore. We don't want to force users onto 2.70...

Pull request description:
With schnorrsig if you need to tweak the secret key (for BIP32) you must use the keypair API to get compatible secret/public keys which you do by calling `secp256k1_keypair_xonly_tweak_add()`, but after that there's no currently a way to extract the secret key back for storage.
so I added a `secp256k1_keypair_seckey` function to extract the key

This commits simply uses CC as CC_FOR_BUILD and the same for
corresponding flags if we're not cross-compiling. This has a number of
benefits in this common case:
- It avoids strange cases where very old compilers are used (#768).
- Flags are consistently set for CC and CC_FOR_BUILD.
- ./configure is faster.
- You get compiler x consistently if you set CC=x; we got this wrong
in CI in the past.
./configure warns if a _FOR_BUILD variable is set but ignored because
we're not cross-compiling.
The change exposed that //-style comments are used in gen_context.c,
which is also fixed by this commit.
This commit also reorganizes code in configure.ac to have a cleaner
separation of sections.
