Merge #676: Add byte accessors to ElligatorSwiftSharedSecret

7fe89c4 Add byte accessors to `ElligatorSwiftSharedSecret` (Martin Habovstiak)

Pull request description:

  The inner bytes of `ElligatorSwiftSharedSecret` were almost inaccessible making the type almost useless, so this commit adds methods to access inner bytes.

  Closes #675
