Filippo Valsorda 203e59ad41 crypto/internal/nistec: reduce P-256 scalar
Unlike the rest of nistec, the P-256 assembly doesn't use complete
addition formulas, meaning that p256PointAdd[Affine]Asm won't return the
correct value if the two inputs are equal.

This was (undocumentedly) ignored in the scalar multiplication loops
because as long as the input point is not the identity and the scalar is
lower than the order of the group, the addition inputs can't be the same.

As part of the math/big rewrite, we went however from always reducing
the scalar to only checking its length, under the incorrect assumption
that the scalar multiplication loop didn't require reduction.

Added a reduction, and while at it added it in P256OrdInverse, too, to
enforce a universal reduction invariant on p256OrdElement values.

Note that if the input point is the infinity, the code currently still
relies on undefined behavior, but that's easily tested to behave
acceptably, and will be addressed in a future CL.

Fixes #58647
Fixes CVE-2023-24532

(Filed with the "safe APIs like complete addition formulas are good" dept.)
