Move compression, point2oct and oct2point functions into separate files.

Add a flags field to EC_METHOD.

Add a flag EC_FLAGS_DEFAULT_OCT to use the default compession and oct
functions (all existing methods do this). This removes dependencies from
EC_METHOD while keeping original functionality.

- hide the EC_KEY structure definition in ec_lcl.c + add
  some functions to use/access the EC_KEY fields
- change the way how method specific data (ecdsa/ecdh) is
  attached to a EC_KEY
- add ECDSA_sign_ex and ECDSA_do_sign_ex functions with
  additional parameters for pre-computed values
- rebuild libeay.num from 0.9.7

  and BN_get_sign
- implement BN_set_negative as a function
- always use "#define BN_is_zero(a) ((a)->top == 0)"

efficiency (EC_PRE_COMP objects are now constant once completed).

Extend 'extra_data' API to support arbitrarily many slots (although we
need only one at the moment).

Modify EC internal 'extra_data' API: EC_GROUP_[clear_]free_extra_data
now frees only a single slot (the previous functions are available as
EC_GROUP_[clear_]free_all_extra_data).

the new method names where _GF... suffixes have been removed.

Revert changes to ..._{get/set}_Jprojective_coordinates_...:
The current implementation for ECC over binary fields does not use
projective coordinates, and if it did, it would not use Jacobian
projective coordinates; so it's OK to use the ..._GFp prefix for all
this.

Add author attributions to some files so that it doesn't look
as if Sun wrote all of this :-)

makes things more compilable with VC++.

which indicate its purpose more clearly.

The latter does nothing for now, but its existence means
that applications can request precomputation when appropriate.
