Document EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_*.

In particular, x and y may be NULL, as used in ecdsa_ossl.c. Make use of
this in ecdh_ossl.c as well, to save an otherwise unnecessary temporary.

The affine co-ordinates for a point describe a point in terms of its x and y
position. The functions EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GFp() and
EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m() set the B<x> and B<y> co-ordinates for
the point B<p> defined over the curve given in B<group>.
the point B<p> defined over the curve given in B<group>. The functions
EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GFp() and
EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m() set B<x> and B<y>, either of which may
be NULL, to the corresponding coordinates of B<p>.
As well as the affine co-ordinates, a point can alternatively be described in
terms of its Jacobian projective co-ordinates (for Fp curves only). Jacobian
