added a chunk of some standard basics to elliptic curve – Definition over a general ring.

Also touched/briefly created various related entries, such as Weierstrass equation, Weierstrass elliptic function, cubic curve, j-invariant etc.

I did a little touch-up at Weierstrass elliptic curve. Particularly, the prior version said that $\wp$ parametrized a complex torus, whereas I think it is more accurate to say we have a map

$(\wp, \wp'): \mathbb{C}/L \to cubic$

so that it is the torus that is parametrizing the cubic (rather than the thing that is being parametrized).
