Dag-Erling Smørgrav a09cdc6318 Fix equality predicates.
The count we passed to memcmp() in mpi_eq() and mpi_eq_abs() was actually the number of significant words in the MPI, rather than the number of bytes we wanted to compare.  Multiply by 4 to get the correct value.

To make the intent of the code more apparent, introduce a private MPI_MSW() macro which evaluates to the number of significant words (or 1-based index of the most significant word).  This also comes in handy in mpi_{add,sub,mul}_abs().

Add a couple of test cases which not only demonstrate the bug we fixed here but also demonstrate why we must compare whole words: on a big-endian machine, we would be comparing the unused upper bytes of the first and only word instead of the lower bytes which actually hold a value...

README

Portable multiple-precision integer library.

The interface is loosely based on XySSL's MPI library.  The
implementation was written from scratch based on the algorithms
described in Menezes, van Oorschot and Vanstone: _Handbook of Applied
Cryptography_, CRC Press, 1996.  The full text of the HAC is available
for personal use at http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/.

This implementation sacrifices performance for portability and
readability, but attempts have been made to structure it in such a way
that critical portions can easily be replaced with machine-dependent
optimized versions.

The code assumes a 64-bit machine or a 32-bit machine where 64-bit
integer arithmetic is supported but not necessarily efficient; 64-bit
operations are used only to simplify overflow handling.
