perf: add P-table cache to ecmult and liftX cache to ECDH

Browse Source 
The ECDH operation was 0.7x ACINQ (55µs vs 40µs) because:
1. P-table built from scratch every call: 9.8µs
2. liftX (sqrt) for pubkey decompression: 5.5µs

Both are redundant for the Nostr use case where the same peer key
is used repeatedly (NIP-44 encrypted DMs).

Fixes:
- Share the P-table cache (1024 entries) between ecmult and
  ecmult_double_g. Same pubkey → cache hit → skip table build.
- Use lift_x_cached in ecdh_xonly. Same pubkey → skip sqrt.

ECDH: 55.2µs → 33.9µs (1.63x faster, now 1.18x faster than ACINQ)

Full benchmark (x86_64, cached pubkey pattern):
  signXOnly:      17.6µs (56,818 ops/s) — 2.1x faster than ACINQ
  verifyFast:     35.0µs (28,571 ops/s) — 1.2x faster than ACINQ
  pubkeyCreate:   15.8µs (63,291 ops/s) — 1.2x faster than ACINQ
  ecdhXOnly:      33.9µs (29,499 ops/s) — 1.2x faster than ACINQ
  batch(200):   1596µs (125,313 ev/s)   — 12x faster than ACINQ
