Merge bitcoin#699: Initialize field elements when resulting in infinity
47a7b83 Clear field elements when writing infinity (Elichai Turkel)
61d1ecb Added test with additions resulting in infinity (Elichai Turkel)
Pull request description:
Currently if `secp256k1_gej_add_var` / `secp256k1_gej_add_ge_var` /` secp256k1_gej_add_zinv_var` receive `P + (-P)` it will set `gej->infinity = 1` but doesn't call initialize the field elements.
Notice that this is the only branch in the function that results in an uninitialized output.
By using `secp256k1_gej_set_infinity()` it will set the field elements to zero while also setting the infinity flag.
I also added a test that fails with valgrind on current master but passes with the fix.
EDIT: This isn't a bug or something necessary, I just personally found this helpful.
