Optimize point multiplication using larger window size #1183

Hey there!

I noticed we could improve the performance of point multiplication in the primeorder crate by using a larger window size in the sliding window algorithm.

Currently we're using a 4-bit window which requires more point additions than necessary.

By increasing the window size to 5 or 6 bits, we can reduce the number of point additions while keeping the precomputation table size reasonable.

This should give us a nice performance boost for scalar multiplication operations.

I'd be happy to implement this change if you think it's a good idea!
