46bee92f9e crypto/ecies: fix ECIES invalid-curve handling (#33669)
Fix ECIES invalid-curve handling in RLPx handshake (reject invalid
ephemeral pubkeys early)
- Add curve validation in crypto/ecies.GenerateShared to reject invalid
public keys before ECDH.
- Update RLPx PoC test to assert invalid curve points fail with
ErrInvalidPublicKey.
 
Motivation / Context
RLPx handshake uses ECIES decryption on unauthenticated network input.
Prior to this change, an invalid-curve ephemeral public key would
proceed into ECDH and only fail at MAC verification, returning
ErrInvalidMessage. This allows an oracle on decrypt success/failure and
leaves the code path vulnerable to invalid-curve/small-subgroup attacks.
The fix enforces IsOnCurve validation up front.
