To be more consistent and avoid confusion with regular secp256k1_context instances, rename the ctx parameter to ecmult_gen_ctx in all functions that take secp256k1_ecmult_gen_context pointers (see discussion #1835 (comment) ff.).

While at it, move the * in pointer declarations of the touched functions to the right side for consistency across the code base, see PR #1252.
