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.
