book: Evaluation points are elements of fields, not groups

book: Clarify meaning of "evaluation point" in our context
...
Polynomial evaluation points and elliptic curve points are both things
we rely on, but never in the same context (we either use elliptic curve
points inside circuits, or implement proving systems on top of them).

Further clarify notation and make sure that the discussion is correct for non-cyclic groups.

Improvements to background section:
...
* describe groups in general, rather than via the example of F_p^*
* explain the isomorphism between group elements and scalars, and how it is useful
* corrections and pedantry :-)
