Add the number of bits a curve has to the ecc_curve definition. This field only needs to be set for curves that don't fill up all bytes in their digits, such as NIST P521 which has only 9 bits in the most significant digit. This field will be used to determine the number of bytes a curve requires for its key coordinates for example.
