tweak a taproot pubkey using elliptic curve operations

/**
 * Test implementation of tweakroot
 * 
 * This script tests our tweakroot implementation by comparing:
 * 1. Adding a tweak to a private key, then deriving the public key
 * 2. Directly tweaking the public key
 * The two approaches should yield the same result.
