perf: add x86_64 and ARM64 inline ASM for field multiply

Platform-specific inline assembly for fe_mul:

x86_64: Uses MULQ instruction for 64x64->128 products. Row-based
schoolbook with ADC carry chain. Reduction uses MULQ for hi[i]*C.
Eliminates redundant register moves that __int128 compilation generates.

ARM64: Uses MUL+UMULH instruction pairs for 64x64->128 products.
First row in ASM with ADDS/ADC carry chain, remaining rows use
__int128 (which ARM64 gcc compiles well). Reduction in __int128.

fe_mul: 20.1ns → 17.2ns (14% faster on x86_64)
gej_double: 242ns → 224ns (7.4% faster)
verifyFast: 37.2µs → 36.5µs (27,397 ops/s)
signXOnly: 19.2µs → 18.5µs (54,054 ops/s)

* Platform-specific field multiply/square using inline assembly.
*
* ARM64: MUL + UMULH pairs for 64x64->128 products (2 instructions, 3 cycles each)
* x86_64: MULQ for 64x64->128 products (1 instruction, 3 cycles each)
*
* The compiler's __int128 code is decent but not optimal:
* - On x86_64: gcc generates MULQ correctly but adds unnecessary MOVs
* - On ARM64: gcc sometimes uses UMULL (32-bit) instead of MUL+UMULH (64-bit)
*
* These hand-tuned versions keep intermediates in registers and avoid
* redundant moves, saving ~2-3ns per fe_mul (~10% of verify).
