X25519: Check for all zeros value #160

@kriskwiatkowski

Description

@kriskwiatkowski

As per RFC 7748:

   Both now share K = X25519(a, X25519(b, 9)) = X25519(b, X25519(a, 9))
   as a shared secret.  Both MAY check, without leaking extra
   information about the value of K, whether K is the all-zero value and
   abort if so (see below).  Alice and Bob can then use a key-derivation
   function that includes K, K_A, and K_B to derive a symmetric key.

Just to double check if we do that
