   Not sure if we want the typedef and secp256k1_scratch_space_{create,destroy} but if we don’t keep them then this PR will be a rather large diff.

   I should have mentioned the rationale. The idea is to remove the scratch space from the API is because it’s unused right now. Maybe we bring it back (in some form) at some point (see #1302).

   See my rationale in #1302 (comment)
