perf: lazy fe_add + full ARM64 ASM fe_mul for phone performance

Two major optimizations targeting ARM64 mobile phones:

1. LAZY FIELD ADDITION (both platforms):
   fe_add no longer calls fe_normalize. Values may be in [0, 2^256)
   between operations. This is safe because:
   - fe_mul/fe_sqr reduction handles any 256-bit input
   - fe_negate normalizes its input before P - a
   - fe_is_zero/fe_equal/fe_to_bytes normalize their copies

   Saves ~6 normalize calls per gej_double (called 130x per verify).
   Impact: gej_add_ge 372→316ns (15%), gej_double 224→206ns (8%).

2. FULL ARM64 ASM fe_mul (ARM64 only):
   Complete 4x4 multiply + reduction in inline assembly using:
   - LDP/STP for load/store pairs (halves memory instructions)
   - MUL+UMULH with interleaved scheduling across columns
     (hides 3-cycle multiply latency behind independent additions)
   - Full reduction in ASM with MUL+UMULH+ADDS carry chain
   - 20 registers used (ARM64 has 31 — zero stack spills)
   - Row 1 and 3 interleave b0+b2 products with b1+b3 for ILP

   Expected ARM64 improvement: fe_mul ~20-25ns → ~13-15ns

x86_64 benchmark (measured on this machine):
  gej_add_ge: 372→316ns (15% faster)
  ECDH:       35.4→32.6µs (8% faster, now tied with ACINQ)
  batch(200): 1596→1437µs (10% faster, 7.2µs/event)
