Since Go 1.22 has deprecated certain elliptic curve operations, this PR removes
references to the affected functions and replaces them with a custom implementation
in package crypto. This causes backwards-incompatible changes in some places.

Package crypto works with or without cgo, which is great. However, to make it
work without cgo required setting the build tag `nocgo`. It's common to disable
cgo by instead just setting the environment variable `CGO_ENABLED=0`. Setting
this environment variable does _not_ implicitly set the build tag `nocgo`. So
projects that try to build the crypto package with `CGO_ENABLED=0` will fail. I
have done this myself several times. Until today, I had just assumed that this
meant that this package requires cgo.
But a small build tag change will make this case work. Instead of using `nocgo`
and `!nocgo`, we can use `!cgo` and `cgo`, respectively. The `cgo` build tag is
automatically set if cgo is enabled, and unset if it is disabled.
We need those operations for p2p/enr.
Also upgrade github.com/btcsuite/btcd/btcec to the latest version
and improve BenchmarkSha3. The benchmark printed extra output
that confused tools like benchstat and ignored N.

* all: unify big.Int zero checks
Various checks were in use. This commit replaces them all with Int.Sign,
which is cheaper and less code.
eg templates:
func before(x *big.Int) bool { return x.BitLen() == 0 }
func after(x *big.Int) bool { return x.Sign() == 0 }
func before(x *big.Int) bool { return x.BitLen() > 0 }
func after(x *big.Int) bool { return x.Sign() != 0 }
func before(x *big.Int) int { return x.Cmp(common.Big0) }
func after(x *big.Int) int { return x.Sign() }
* common/math, crypto/secp256k1: make ReadBits public in package math
