This is an API change but there are not many ECC users yet and adding
the "param" flag for those who really need the parameters (e.g. if
private keys have been stored without the curve name, it can easily be
added.
Note that no version of Libgcrypt with support for "noparam" has been
released but for the sake of projects already working with the master
version we don't bail out on "noparam".
