Merge #200: misc fixes key.py

c31b6e7 misc fixes key.py (Mark B Lundeberg)

Pull request description:

  * BN_bin2bn happy to take null ptr as arg and do allocation.
  * EC_POINT_mul hears you the first time, don't need to call twice.
  * EC_KEY_set_private_key makes a copy of the key; without freeing it we have a memory leak.
