The divmod function for large numbers now has an ACL2 proof. Related changes:
1) Rename _mpd_qbarrett_divmod into _mpd_base_ndivmod: The function is
only marginally related to either Barrett's algorithm or to the version
in Hasselstrom's paper.
2) In places where the proof assumes exact operations, use new versions of
add/sub/multiply that set NaN/Invalid_operation if this condition is
not met. According to the proof this cannot happen, so this should be
regarded as an extra safety net.
3) Raise Division_impossible for operands with a number of digits greater
than MPD_MAX_PREC. This facilitates the audit of the function and can
practically only occur in the 32-bit version under conditions where
a MemoryError is already imminent.
4) Use _mpd_qmul() in places where the result can exceed MPD_MAX_PREC in
a well defined manner.
5) Test for mpd_isspecial(qq) in a place where the addition of one
can theoretically trigger a Malloc_error.
6) Remove redundant code in _mpd_qdivmod().
7) Add many comments.
