PublicKey() for PrivateKey now just can't fail and it makes no sense to return
an error from it. There is a lot of associated functionality for which this
also is true, so adjust it accordingly and simplify a lot of code.
Public key is just a point, so use the coordinates obtained previously to
initialize the PublicKey structure without jumping through the hoops of
encoding/decoding.
As NEO uses P256 we can use standard crypto/elliptic library for almost
everything, the only exception being decompression of the Y coordinate. For
some reason the standard library only supports uncompressed format in its
Marshal()/Unmarshal() functions. elliptic.P256() is known to have
constant-time implementation, so it fixes#245 (and the decompression using
big.Int operates on public key, so nobody really cares about that part being
constant-time).
New decompress function is inspired by
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46283760, even though the previous one
really did the same thing just in a little less obvious way.
It makes no sense to provide an API for throw-away public keys, so obtain it
via a new real keypair generation where appropriate (and that's only needed
for testing).

Fixes things like:
* exported type/method/function X should have comment or be unexported
* comment on exported type/method/function X should be of the form "X ..."
(with optional leading article)

Fixes one more instruction being ran when VM FAULTs:
NEO-GO-VM > run
NEO-GO-VM > error encountered at instruction 6 (ROLL)
NEO-GO-VM > runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
FAULT
NEO-GO-VM > error encountered at instruction 7 (SETITEM)
NEO-GO-VM > interface conversion: interface {} is []vm.StackItem, not []uint8
