A null pointer dereference, or null pointer plus small offset, is a
clean runtime error in most environments. So it's not particularly
useful to protect against this.
While at it make a null pointer check that is actually necessary more
robust.

- Made use of enums in struct and function declaration
- All enums are handled by switch case now
- If the switch does nothing on default, omit the default case to make
compiler warnings more powerful
- The two enums are now disjoint and the value 1 is skipped to make
mistakes easier to detect

Extract functions declared in bignum_mod.h into a source file with a
matching name.
We are doing this because:
- This is a general best practice/convention
- We hope that this will make resolving merge conflicts in the future
easier
- Having them in a unified source file is a premature optimisation at
this point
This makes library/bignum_new.c empty and therefore it is deleted.

Unfortunately reusing the new function from the signed constant time
comparison is not trivial.
One option would be to do temporary conditional swaps which would prevent
qualifying input to const. Another way would be to add an additional
flag for the sign and make it an integral part of the computation, which
would defeat the purpose of having an unsigned core comparison.
Going with two separate function for now and the signed version can be
retired/compiled out with the legacy API eventually.
The new function in theory could be placed into either
`library/constant_time.c` or `library/bignum_new.c`. Going with the
first as the other functions in the second are not constant time yet and
this distinction seems more valuable for new (as opposed to belonging to
the `_core` functions.

- We don't check for NULL pointers this deep in the library
- Accessing a NULL pointer when the limb number is 0 as a mistake is the
very similar to any other out of bounds access
- We could potentially mandate at least 1 limb representation for 0 but
we either would need to enforce it or the implementation would be less
robust.
- Allowing zero limb representation - (NULL, 0) in particular - for zero
is present in the legacy interface, if we disallow it, the
compatibility code will need to deal with this (more code size and
opportunities for mistakes)
In summary, interpreting (NULL, 0) as the number zero in the core
interface is the least of the two evils.

The test case where there were extra limbs in the MPI failed and this
commit contains the corresponding fix as well. (We used to use the
minimum required limbs instead of the actual limbs present.)
