bn256: fix String methods when g.p == nil

Previously, when g.p == nil, String() crashed. In other method like Add(),
a point with g.p == nil is treated as an identity element.

Besides, the following code is the only way to get an identity element
outside the library: g := bn256.G1{}. In this situation, g.p == nil.

For example, the following code will crash:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"golang.org/x/crypto/bn256"
)

func main() {
	g := bn256.G1{}
	fmt.Println(g.String())
}
