Implement initial Montgomery multiplication framework in secp256k1 field operations
This commit introduces the foundational structure for Montgomery multiplication in `field.go`, including methods for converting to and from Montgomery form, as well as a multiplication function. The current implementation uses standard multiplication internally, with a placeholder for future optimizations. Additionally, a new markdown file, `MONTGOMERY_NOTES.md`, outlines the current status, issues, and next steps for completing the Montgomery multiplication implementation.

# Montgomery Multiplication Implementation Notes
|
||||
|
||||
## Status
|
||||
Montgomery multiplication has been partially implemented in `field.go`. The current implementation provides the API structure but uses standard multiplication internally.
|
||||
|
||||
## Current Implementation
|
||||
- `ToMontgomery()`: Converts to Montgomery form using R² multiplication
|
||||
- `FromMontgomery()`: Converts from Montgomery form (currently uses standard multiplication)
|
||||
- `MontgomeryMul()`: Multiplies two Montgomery-form elements (currently uses standard multiplication)
|
||||
- `montgomeryReduce()`: REDC algorithm implementation (partially complete)
|
||||
|
||||
## Issues
|
||||
1. The `FromMontgomery()` implementation needs proper R⁻¹ computation
|
||||
2. The `MontgomeryMul()` should use the REDC algorithm directly instead of standard multiplication
|
||||
3. The R² constant may need verification
|
||||
4. Tests are currently failing due to incomplete implementation
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
1. Compute R⁻¹ mod p correctly
|
||||
2. Implement proper REDC algorithm in MontgomeryMul
|
||||
3. Verify R² constant against reference implementation
|
||||
4. Add comprehensive tests
