What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR renames the functions tree_scalar_mul to tree_scale and tree_add_scalar_mul to tree_add_scale for improved clarity and conciseness. The old function names are kept as aliases, but now emit deprecation warnings.
Why are the changes needed?
The new names provide a more intuitive and concise representation of the functions’ purpose. The deprecation warnings alert users about the future removal of the old names after a suitable deprecation period.
Fix: #1196
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No, this change is backward-compatible. Users will receive deprecation warnings when using the old function names, but no immediate functionality change occurs.
How was this patch tested?
The changes were verified by ensuring that the old function names now trigger deprecation warnings and that the renamed functions behave as expected.
