Change internals of the EC library so that the functions

EC_GROUP_{set_generator,get_generator,get_order,get_cofactor} are
implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched to
methods.

Also fix EC_GROUP_copy to copy the NID.

  Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8  [xx XXX 2002]
 
+  *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
+          EC_GROUP_set_generator()
+          EC_GROUP_get_generator()
+          EC_GROUP_get_order()
+          EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
+     are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
+     to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
+     adding different types of curves.
+     [Nils Larsch with input by Bodo Moeller]
+
   *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
      arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
      (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
