The function DhSecret which computes a Diffie-Hellman shared secret key now panics on an error. This is an issue as a malicious node could send a low order point public key to intentionally cause the key generation to fail. As this panic doesn't seem to be recovered anywhere it will crash the node.
The fix adds back error handling for DH secret generation and a test.
