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:

The macOS CI tasks often error fail when doing `brew update` with
git fetch errors:
```
remote: fatal: packfile /data/repositories/b/nw/b6/07/5c/123272362/network.git/objects/pack/pack-2139bd07361b62a358e380a0e7d58ec35593d191.pack cannot be accessed
fatal: protocol error: bad pack header
Error: Fetching /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core failed!
```
Superficially this seems to be a problem on the GitHub server because
the message shows a "remote" error. But it seems we're the only one in
the world running into this specific issue when doing `brew update`, so
it's more likely that the something else is the culprit, and this error
message is just a symptom.
This commit replaces `brew update` with a complete reinstallation of
brew. This is essentially a shot in the dark but it's worth a try, and
I doubt it's significantly more expensive. If that won't work, we may
consider simply retrying `brew update` a few times.
The preinstalled brew is very old and tries to download prebuilt bottles
from a server which is no longer available. Because that will fail, brew
falls back to building our dependencies (e.g., autotools) from source,
which takes very long.
This commit makes sure that brew is updated before we start the build.
We also need to remove the `--shallow` argument from `brew tap`. It
doesn't exist in recent brew versions.

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.
