e3bf9b0213 Add MultiscalarMul and VartimeMultiscalarMul traits.
These traits have the same interface, but with different names, so that it's
not possible to use them interchangeably.  (Constant-time and variable-time
routines should not be used interchangeably).

This commit changes the external API to use these traits, replacing
```
edwards::multiscalar_mul
edwards::vartime::multiscalar_mul
```
with
```
EdwardsPoint::multiscalar_mul (as an impl)
EdwardsPoint::vartime_multiscalar_mul (as an impl)
```
and similarly for Ristretto.

Refactoring the backend is for a later commit.

Multiscalar multiplication with precomputation is for a later commit.

The `edwards::vartime` module is retained since it's used for
`vartime_double_base_scalar_mul`.

It should be subsumed into the precomputation API in a later commit.

a3f53c9134 Refactor select_precomputed_point into a LookupTable struct.
Originally this was for hygiene, so that we could erase points from
heap-allocated memory in multiscalar_mult, but it ends up providing a cleaner
API for scalar multiplication.

It's kept inside curve_models for now, but it could go somewhere else if that's a better place.
