Description
ECDSA function would have panicked for edge cases. This PR implements the
ec_add_unequalforu1_mul + u2_mulin a non-panicking way, and handles cases such asu1_is_zeroandu2_is_zeroby theSelectabletrait.Instead of using the random point approach, we compute
u1_mul + u2_multaking into account edge cases such as:We effectively do not need the random point (tmp) approach, and have the EC Point
sum, i.e.(x_3, y_3)by making minor changes to thedivide_unsafelogic and usingSelectabletrait to select appropriate values forx_3andy_3.
