EC_GROUP_new_by_nid -> EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name

("perl util/ck_errf.pl */*.c */*/*.c" still reports many more.)

behaviour was not quite consistent with the conventions
for d2i and i2d functions as far as handling of the 'out'
or 'in' pointer is concerned.

This patch changes this behaviour, and renames the functions to
o2i_ECPublicKey and i2o_ECPublicKey (not 'd2i' and 'i2d' because the
external encoding is just a raw object string without any DER icing).

EC_GROUP_new_by_nid() should be enough.  This avoids a lot of

the new method names where _GF... suffixes have been removed.

Revert changes to ..._{get/set}_Jprojective_coordinates_...:
The current implementation for ECC over binary fields does not use
projective coordinates, and if it did, it would not use Jacobian
projective coordinates; so it's OK to use the ..._GFp prefix for all
this.

Add author attributions to some files so that it doesn't look
as if Sun wrote all of this :-)

The latter does nothing for now, but its existence means

I've checked fairly well that nothing breaks with this (apart from
external software that will adapt if they have used something like
NO_KRB5), but I can't guarantee it completely, so a review of this
change would be a good thing.
