change derive_elliptic_curve_public_point to return EllipticCurvePubl… (#3243)
* change derive_elliptic_curve_public_point to return EllipticCurvePublicKey * also rename the backend interface method * review feedback * Rename to derive_elliptic_curve_private_key * Returns EllipticCurvePrivateKey * Reuses the EC_POINT in the openssl impl * Rename "secret" arg to "private_value" which is consistent with our naming for the value in ECPrivateNumbers.
