<h3>
Description:
</h3>
Checks whether a point P=[x,y] is on the elliptic curve E over
a finite field K. E is
either given by a list of two or five elements of K or integers. If
the equation of E is y^2=x^3+a_4 x+a_6 the curve is represented
by [a_4,a_6], if the equation of E is
y^2+a_1 xy+a_3y=x^3+a_2x^2+a_4 x+a_6 then the representation is
[a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_6]. Points on the curve are given by a pair of
elements of K or integers; the point at infinity is represented by
the empty list [\;].

Finite field of size 11
kash> ec := [0,0,0,1,6];
[ 0, 0, 0, 1, 6 ]
kash> EccPointIsOnCurve(K,ec,[2,7]);
true
kash> EccPointIsOnCurve(K,ec,[1,1]);
false
kash> EccPointIsOnCurve(K,ec,[]);
> true
