Remove deprecated _ec_privkey_{negate,tweak_add,tweak_mul} aliases

These function aliases have been described as DEPRECATED in the public
API docs already many years ago (see #701, commit 41fc785), and in
addition explicit deprecation warnings are shown by the compiler at
least since the first official release 0.2.0 (see PR #1089, commit
fc94a2d), so it should be fine to just remove them by now.
