Produce an object suitable for an ASN1OutputStream.
FieldElement ::= OCTET STRING
if q is an odd prime then the field element is
processed as an Integer and converted to an octet string
according to x 9.62 4.3.1.
if q is 2m then the bit string
contained in the field element is converted into an octet
string with the same ordering padded at the front if necessary.
return new DEROctetString(f.toBigInteger().toByteArray());
