Now that we have a constant-time P-256 implementation, it's worth paying more attention elsewhere. The inversion of k in (EC)DSA was using Euclid's algorithm which isn't constant-time. This change switches to Fermat's algorithm, which is much better. However, it's important to note that math/big itself isn't constant time and is using a 4-bit window for exponentiation with variable memory access patterns. (Since math/big depends quite deeply on its values being in minimal (as opposed to fixed-length) represetation, perhaps crypto/elliptic should grow a constant-time implementation of exponentiation in the scalar field.)
