bn_nist: replace pointer bit-fiddling with ternary
Bit-fiddling pointers is technically implementation defined behavior
in the C specification so the following code is not supported in all
platforms:
PTR_SIZE_INT mask;
void * a, b, c;
int boolean_flag;
mask = 0 - boolean_flag;
/* Not guaranteed to be a valid ptr to a or b on all platforms */
a = (void *)
((((PTR_SIZE_INT) b & ~mask) | (((PTR_SIZE_INT)) c & mask)));
Using a ternary conditional operator is supported on all platforms
(i.e. `a = boolean_flag ? b : c;`).
On most modern compilers/CPUs, this will be faster, since it will
get converted to a CMOV instruction.
