The reason this wasn't enabled-by-default before was due to a lingering US patent. However, as noted on #211, that patent just expired 🎉

The bitcoin-core/secp256k1 library is also pursuing a full switch to endomorphisms: bitcoin-core/secp256k1#826

For now this commit just switches on the feature by default, but in the future we can eventually rip out the non-endomorphism code and remove the feature entirely.
