Extracted from #174, but just puts the framework in place.

Might want to add abstract test for the reference addition formula, e.g. sum up your inputs in random order and check that the sum is infinity; otherwise all the addition formula could be wrong in a consistent way and it wouldn't be detected.

Add a reference consistency test to ge_tests.

This adds all points used in the test together in random order, which
should result in infinity.

Suggested by Greg Maxwell.
