The only disallowed value currently is the additive identity. You could potentially propose restricting some other values which clearly shouldn't be valid public keys. |

This PR implements
ZeroizeforNonIdentitysetting it to G to prevent breaking any invariants.I just realized that
elliptic-curveaccepts G as a validPublicKey, which seems a bit dangerous to me. I guess 1 is also a validSecretKey. I have no idea if other libraries take these cases into account.
