3d7cbafb5f tests: Fix test whose result is implementation-defined (Tim Ruffing)
Pull request description:
A compiler may add struct padding and fe_cmov is not guaranteed to
preserve it.
On the way, we restore the name of the function. It was mistakenly
renamed in 6173839c90 using
"search and replace".

77a19750b4 Use xoshiro256++ PRNG instead of RFC6979 in tests (Pieter Wuille)
5f2efe684e secp256k1_testrand_int(2**N) -> secp256k1_testrand_bits(N) (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
Just some easy low-hanging fruit. It's complete overkill to use the RFC6979 RNG for our test randomness. Replace it with a modern non-cryptographic RNG with good properties. It's a few % speedup for me.
Given the internal naming of all these functions to be "testrand", I'm not concerned about the risk of someone using this for something that needs actual cryptographic randomness.

Pull request description:
This is an attempt at a simple release process. Fixes#856. To keep it simple, there is no concept of release candidates for now.
The release version is determined by semantic versioning of the API. Since it does not seem to be a lot of work, it is proper to also version the ABI with the libtool versioning system. This versioning scheme (semver API, libtool versioning ABI) follows the suggestion in the [autotools mythbusters](https://autotools.io/libtool/version.html).
Experimental modules are a bit of a headache, as expected. This release process suggests to treat any change in experimental modules as backwards compatible. That way, users of stable modules are not bothered by frequent non-backwards compatible releases. But a downside is that one must not use experimental modules in shared libraries (which should be mentioned in the README?). It would be nice if we could make the schnorrsig module stable in the not too distant future (see also #817).

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.

In theory we could have a single static assertion that would ensure all of these are always true (for any magnitude up to the limit), but I think this small redundancy is clearer.

Pull request description:
This PR implements a number of changes to follow up after merging #988:
* Naming consistency:
* All precomputed table files now have name `precomputed_*.*`
* All source files related to the creation of the precomputed table files have name `precompute_*.*`.
* All source files related to the computation of tables (whether they go in precomputed files or not) have name `*_compute_table.*`.
* Make the tables for exhaustive tests be computed at runtime rather than compile time (this was already the case for ecmult_gen, but not ecmult). This is a preparation for the next point, as the alternative would be to have separate precomputed libraries for the exhaustive tests and other binaries.
* Moves the actual tables to separate `precomputed_*.c` files, which are compiled only once as part of a new `libsecp256k1_precomputed.la`, included where relevant. The corresponding `precomputed_*.h` file are normal source files.
Retry of #1041.

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

This was necessary because we used to cross-compile the library but
compile the precomputation programs for the build host. Now it's no
longer necessary and we can cleanly link even the external ASM
(which was the intent of #935).
On the way, remove an obsolete "-I" parameter.
- Improve Makefile.am for both prebuilt tables files
- On the way, tidy EXTRA_DIST: Move the header files to noinst_HEADERS,
where they conceptually belong, and add missing SECURITY.md to EXTRA_DIST
