	    ecc: Add flags "noparam" and "comp".

It seems that it's intentional.

Let me confirm that

	(flags param)

is required for key when we don't use curvename.

Then,

  (1) We need to update the code which uses ECC to add (flags param)
      or use curvename.

  (2) We need to modify the code of libgcrypt itself to get flags of
      param from KEYPARMS.
      Specifically, ecc_sign and ecc_verify should be modified.
      Currently, ecc_sign and ecc_verify don't get flags from KEYPARMS,
      but only from DATA.
