Description
The sw_properties test failed for groups with cofactors, for which the first valid point (according to incrementing x) was on the prime order subgroup.
The test assumed that the first point should have been of low order, such that multiplying it with the cofactor put it in the high order group.
This patch simplifies the code, and skips over these points.
This version works for the experimental curves that @Tarinn and I are testing out, one of which has cofactor 2, and triggered this edge case.
