crypto: ecc - regularize scalar for scalar multiplication
ecc_point_mult is supposed to be used with a regularized scalar, otherwise, it's possible to deduce the position of the top bit of the scalar with timing attack. This is important when the scalar is a private key. ecc_point_mult is already using a regular algorithm (i.e. having an operation flow independent of the input scalar) but regularization step is not implemented. Arrange scalar to always have fixed top bit by adding a multiple of the curve order (n). References: The constant time regularization step is based on micro-ecc by Kenneth MacKay and also referenced in the literature (Bernstein, D. J., & Lange, T. (2017). Montgomery curves and the Montgomery ladder. (Cryptology ePrint Archive; Vol. 2017/293). s.l.: IACR. Chapter 4.6.2.)
