perf: add -Xno-param/call/receiver-assertions to remove null checks

Kotlin generates Intrinsics.checkNotNullParameter at the entry of every
function taking non-null reference types. Bytecode audit showed:
  Before: 128 checkNotNullParameter calls across secp256k1 classes
  After:  8 (only expression-value checks in non-hot paths)

Per Schnorr verify, this eliminates ~4,000+ invokestatic calls.
On ART (~2-3ns each): saves ~8-12μs per verify.
On HotSpot: neutral (C2 already optimizes null checks to fast branches).

These flags are safe for this module: all internal secp256k1 functions
use non-null LongArray/MutablePoint parameters that are never null.
Applied at the module level (compilerOptions) so all targets benefit.
