[WIP]ecmult_strauss_batch: refactor to support pre-filled (with scalars and points) scratch space

added two new arguments to strauss_batch:
1. scratch_sclrs
2. scratch_pts

if scrach_sclrs = scratch_pts = NULL: strauss_batch allocates points and scalars
else strauss assumes (points, scalars) are already present in scratch
