The number of test iterations in the CI remains unchanged.
Additionally, the minimum iteration counts to enable the
`test_ecmult_constants_2bit` test is adjusted from 35 to 16, so it is
run by default.
7057d3c9af ci: Silent Homebrew's noisy reinstall warnings (Hennadii Stepanov)

Homebrew's warnings are quite noisy on the master branch:

This PR silents them to allow us to focus on any other CI infra warnings once they happen.

Pull request description:
This PR implements the [outcomes](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/issues/1549#issuecomment-2200559257) from today's IRC meeting:
1. The default size of the precomputed table for signing is now aligned with Bitcoin Core's [default](a057869aa3).
2. The default value in CI has been updated to reflect the new default.

9420eece24 cmake: Bump CMake minimum required version up to 3.16 (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
Debian 10 [reached](https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases) EOL LTS yesterday, on 2024-06-30.
There no longer seem to be compelling reasons to maintain support for CMake 3.13.
The suggested minimum required version, CMake 3.16, is shipped with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, which is [supported](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases) until April 2025.
Debian 11 ships with CMake 3.18 (3.25 in backports). In [other](https://repology.org/project/cmake/versions) major distros and package managers, CMake versions are not older.

b8fe33332b cmake: Fixed O3 replacement (Eduardo Menges Mattje)
Pull request description:
Old replacement of `O3` in `CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE` skip spaces, which is problematic. For instance, if `CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE = "-O3 -DFOO"`, regex will replace it with `-O2-DFOO`, which causes a compile error.
This patch changes this behavior, keeping whichever space exists between the flags.
If I may question, what is the rationale behind replacing `O3` with `O2`? Changing the user's flags is a bad practice overall, and I don't see how this replacement is beneficial.

This should hopefully be useful as orientation for users implementing
the key exchange part of BIP324. Conceptually the example is not very
different to the ECDH one, so a lot of code/comments are just copied
(e.g. context creation, secret key generation, shared secret comparison,
console output, cleanup with secret key clearing).

f87a3589f4 cmake: Do not set `CTEST_TEST_TARGET_ALIAS` (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
An alias for the "test" target can be confusing for the downstream project.
For instance, when integrating using `add_subdirectory(secp256k1 EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)` (see https://github.com/hebasto/bitcoin/pull/192), test binaries are not being built by default. But the `check` alias target is exposed to the downstream project build system, which in turn fails:
```
$ make -C build check
...
Unable to find executable: /home/hebasto/git/bitcoin/build/src/secp256k1/src/exhaustive_tests
3/3 Test #3: exhaustive_tests .................***Not Run 0.00 sec
0% tests passed, 3 tests failed out of 3

The following tests FAILED:

2 - tests (Not Run)
3 - exhaustive_tests (Not Run)

```
This PR fixes this issue by deleting the `CTEST_TEST_TARGET_ALIAS` usage.

Pull request description:
This PR is an attempt at tidying up test util functions, as suggested in #1491. The following changes are done:
* rename `_group_element...` functions to `_ge...`
* rename `_field_element...` functions to `_fe...`
* move `random_` helpers from tests.c to testutil.h (the alternative would be testrand.h, but to my understanding, this one is meant to contain the actual RNG implementation rather than helpers using it; happy to move the helpers there if that is preferred though)
* prefix testutil.h functions with `testutil_`
* prefix testrand.h functions with `testrand_` (this is currently done in a sloppy way by simply dropping the `secp256k1_` prefix, so some functions don't have the full prefix, like e.g. `testrand256`; naming suggestions welcome)
