Simplest way to get things started is just depend on libsecp256k1 from
net/bitcoin. That unblocks you to work on electrum. When you have something
working the library could either be moved to a separate port, built as a
subpackage of net/bitcoin not depending on the main binaries, or just keep
the dependency.

Same should happen for litecoin, it was added with its own different copy
of libsecp256k1 and a conflict, which is a very bad idea for a library
in ports
