* Elliptic curve multiplication of Point by scalar. Fragile.
* Table generation takes **30MB of ram and 10ms on high-end CPU**,
* but may take much longer on slow devices. Actual generation will happen on
* first call of `multiply()`. By default, `BASE` point is precomputed.
*
* Scalars should always be less than curve order: this should be checked inside of a curve itself.
* Creates precomputation tables for fast multiplication:
* - private scalar is split by fixed size windows of W bits
* - every window point is collected from window's table & added to accumulator
* - since windows are different, same point inside tables won't be accessed more than once per calc
* - each multiplication is 'Math.ceil(CURVE_ORDER / 𝑊) + 1' point additions (fixed for any scalar)
* - +1 window is neccessary for wNAF
* - wNAF reduces table size: 2x less memory + 2x faster generation, but 10% slower multiplication
