Should OP_EC_POINT_NEGATE be in this list?

In this PR, we add a new draft BIP proposing the addition of fundamental Elliptic Curve op codes. Amongst other things, this series of op codes permits the computation of the top level Taproot output public key in Bitcoin Script. This enables a new flavor of on-chain state machines, in addition to many other use cases.
