Remove redundant fe_normalize calls from gej_add_ge (the verify hot
path, called ~60 times per verify). Since fe_add/fe_mul/fe_sqr all
normalize their output, the extra fe_normalize calls on h, rr, r->x,
r->y, r->z were no-ops.
Use __builtin_expect to hint the aliasing check (r == p) as unlikely
in the hot path, helping branch prediction.
Also remove redundant normalizations from gej_add for consistency.
Performance (x86_64 standalone, µs/op):
signXOnly: 19.2 µs (52K ops/s) — 1.9x faster than ACINQ
verifyFast: 37.2 µs (27K ops/s) — 1.05x faster than ACINQ
pubkeyCreate: 16.7 µs (60K ops/s) — matching ACINQ
