Shamir's Trick (EC-DSA verify)

I just added Shamir's trick to the LTC library.  Gets ~1.34x to ~1.4x
faster signature verifications than before with a simple 16 element
table of points.

Some numbers

---NOW---
ECC-112 verify_hash took          807645 cycles (1.34x faster)
ECC-128 verify_hash took          969613 cycles (1.40x faster)
ECC-160 verify_hash took         1391150 cycles
ECC-192 verify_hash took         1898501 cycles (1.35x faster)
ECC-224 verify_hash took         2325690 cycles
ECC-256 verify_hash took         3097522 cycles (1.37x faster)
ECC-384 verify_hash took         6879653 cycles
ECC-520 verify_hash took        13230519 cycles (1.39x faster)
---BEFORE---
ECC-112 verify_hash took         1085681 cycles
ECC-128 verify_hash took         1366683 cycles
ECC-160 verify_hash took         1887206 cycles
ECC-192 verify_hash took         2571578 cycles
ECC-224 verify_hash took         3305896 cycles
ECC-256 verify_hash took         4246218 cycles
ECC-384 verify_hash took         9740997 cycles
ECC-520 verify_hash took        18439494 cycles
-----------

Using the standard routines (no fixed point optimizations) on my Core 2
Duo processor.

Neato improvement given that it contributes little to the code size
(and is #ifdef'able off).  I plan to add the same trick to the fixed
point side.  Should pay off better I'd think...
