This commit reworks the way that the pre-computed table which is used to accelerate scalar base multiple is generated and loaded to make use of the go generate infrastructure and greatly reduce the memory needed to compile as well as speed up the compile. Previously, the table was being generated using the in-memory representation directly written into the file. Since the table has a very large number of entries, the Go compiler was taking up to nearly 1GB to compile. It also took a comparatively long period of time to compile. Instead, this commit modifies the generated table to be a serialized, compressed, and base64-encoded byte slice. At init time, this process is reversed to create the in-memory representation. This approach provides fast compile times with much lower memory needed to compile (16MB versus 1GB). In addition, the init time cost is extremely low, especially as compared to computing the entire table. Finally, the automatic generation wasn't really automatic. It is now fully automatic with 'go generate'.
