clean up in-comment Sage code (refer to secp256k1_params.sage, update…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
… to Python3)

Some of the C source files contain contain in-comment Sage code
calculating secp256k1 parameters that are already defined in the file
secp256k1_params.sage.  Replace that by a corresponding load instruction
and access the necessary variables. In ecdsa_impl.h, update the comment
to use a one-line shell command calling sage to get the values.

The remaining code (test `test_add_neg_y_diff_x` in tests.c) is updated
to work with a current version based on Python3 (Sage 9.0+, see
https://wiki.sagemath.org/Python3-Switch).

The latter can be seen as a small follow-up to PR bitcoin-core#849 (commit
13c88ef).
