Update key-to-address-ecc-example.py

Browse Source 
If line#24 use 'wif_compressed', it will produce a wrong Key (WIF-Compressed) started with 2.

So there should be 'wif', unless :
wif_compressed_private_key = bitcoin.encode_privkey(
    bitcoin.decode_privkey(private_key, 'hex'), 'wif_compressed')
This is also right. 
However, use the 'compressed_private_key' and 'wif_compressed' is wrong.
