For decoding points it's not necessary to have all the data
useful for decoding public keys.

This will also make it possible to decode explicit EC parameters,
as decoding of a public key requires knowledge of the curve's base
point and the base point is in defined in the parameters, creating
a chicken and an egg problem with using the VerifyingKey.from_string()
to parse the base point.
