bug 1234417 - fix a leak in CreateECPublicKey r=rbarnes

Before this patch, CreateECPublicKey would create a SECKEYPublicKey allocated on
a scoped arena. It would then call CryptoKey::PublicKeyValid, which has the
side-effect of importing the key to the internal PKCS#11 slot. When the arena
went out of scope, the memory for the key would be released, but the reference
to the slot wouldn't, causing a leak.

This patch fixes the leak by making the SECKEYPublicKey a ScopedSECKEYPublicKey
(which ensures that the type-specific "destructor" SECKEY_DestroyPublicKey is
called, which releases the reference to the PKCS#11 slot).
