Provide ec_point_from_octets()

This is a wrapper that is the reverse of ec_point_to_octets(). It is a
bit simpler since EC_POINT_oct2point() expects the point to be allocated
already. It also hands back the correctly parsed point conversion form
so that we don't have to do this by hand in a few places.
