Replace every non-inline uLt() call with uLtInline() across FieldP.kt,
U256.kt, and ScalarN.kt. The expect/actual uLt() can't be inline
(KMP limitation), costing ~84ns per call on ART as a real function
dispatch. From the trace: 12,394 uLt calls × 84ns = 1.035ms per
verify (1.2% of total).
uLtInline uses the same XOR-with-MIN_VALUE trick but as a package-level
inline function — zero dispatch overhead.
Also inline isInfinity() body directly: was delegating to U256.isZero()
(double dispatch), now computes (z[0] or z[1] or z[2] or z[3]) == 0L
directly. 190 calls × 347ns = 66µs saved.
