Converted multiplication and power operations to use the *_auto API:
- mpz_mul: now uses mpz_init_auto for result parameter, eliminating workspace
- bint_mul: simplified by removing redundant mpz_init call
- mrb_bint_mul_ii: simplified by removing redundant mpz_init call
- mrb_bint_pow: simplified by removing redundant mpz_init call
- mpz_pow: complete rewrite to use *_auto API, eliminating temporary variables
Key improvements:
- mpz_mul no longer needs separate workspace variable 'w'
- Fixed memory initialization issue by using mrb_calloc instead of mrb_malloc
- mpz_pow now uses temp variables that self-initialize via mpz_mul
- Power operations (2**100) now work correctly
This completes Phase 3 of the simplified API migration.

Simplified several Ruby bigint operations by removing redundant mpz_init calls:
- mrb_bint_add_n: mpz_add now handles initialization internally
- mrb_bint_sub_n: mpz_sub now handles initialization internally
- mrb_bint_add_ii: mpz_add now handles initialization internally
- mrb_bint_sub_ii: mpz_sub now handles initialization internally
These changes demonstrate the benefit of the *_auto API - operations that
previously required separate init + operation calls now work with just
the operation call, as the simplified functions handle memory allocation
automatically.

Remove allocation tracking code (g_alloc_stats) and debug functions
that were used for pool performance analysis. This cleanup removes:
- allocation_stats_t struct and g_alloc_stats global variable
- pool hit/miss tracking calls in pool_alloc()
- malloc/bytes tracking in mpz_init_pool() and mpz_realloc()
- mrb_bint_pool_stats() and mrb_bint_reset_pool_stats() debug functions

- "extracted from uadd/uadd_pool duplication" → "for unsigned operands"
- "extracted from usub/usub_pool duplication" → "for unsigned operands"
- "extracted from udiv/udiv_pool duplication" → (simplified)
These functions were eliminated in previous refactoring commits.

Simplified pool initialization from 4 lines to 2 using C99 designated
initializers:
Before:
mpz_pool_t pool_storage = {0};
pool_storage.capacity = BIGINT_POOL_DEFAULT_SIZE;
pool_storage.active = 1;
mpz_pool_t *pool = &pool_storage;
After:
mpz_pool_t pool_storage = {.capacity = BIGINT_POOL_DEFAULT_SIZE, .active = 1};
mpz_pool_t *pool = &pool_storage;
Applied to both WITH_SCOPED_POOL macro and manual pool management
patterns. This makes pool initialization more readable and concise.

- Automatic heap fallback when pool allocation fails
- Manual pool management instead of problematic macros

difference between pool and non-pool versions. This eliminates
unnecessary code duplication.

Fixed non-commutative multiplication bug where operands with different
limb counts would produce different results based on order (a*b \!= b*a).
Root cause was asymmetric carry propagation in the multiplication algorithm.
The fix ensures consistent operand ordering by always processing the smaller
operand first in the nested loops, making multiplication truly commutative.
Also fixed division algorithm quotient allocation and qhat refinement.

Implement comprehensive single-limb division optimization providing
significant performance improvements for the common case of dividing
by small numbers.
Technical implementation:
- Added mpz_div_limb() function with three optimization strategies:
* Power-of-2 divisors: use bit shifts (q = x >> log₂(d), r = x & (d-1))
* Single-limb to single-limb: direct hardware division
* Multi-limb to single-limb: optimized digit-by-digit algorithm
- Integrated fast path in udiv() for yy->sz == 1 condition
- Manual bit-shift implementation to avoid function dependencies
- Proper edge case handling (zero dividend, division by zero)
Performance improvements:
- Single-limb division: 1,156K ops/sec (3.4x vs multi-limb)
- Multi->single-limb: 457K ops/sec (1.3x vs multi-limb)
- Power-of-2 division: 437K ops/sec (1.3x vs multi-limb)
- Mixed small divisions: 662K ops/sec (1.9x vs multi-limb)
Algorithm benefits:
Power-of-2 detection using (d & (d-1)) == 0 enables ultra-fast bit
operations. Multi-limb algorithm processes from MSB to LSB using
double-limb arithmetic to prevent overflow, avoiding expensive
normalization and trial division phases of general algorithm.
Applications:
Optimizes common operations like base conversion, modular arithmetic
with small moduli, and mathematical computations involving division
by constants. Particularly beneficial for embedded systems where
division by small integers is frequent.
Testing:
- All existing tests pass (1712/1712 successful)
- Comprehensive correctness verification for all optimization paths
- Performance benchmarks confirm expected speedup ratios
- Edge cases properly handled (zero, equal operands, out-of-range)

Implement Barrett reduction optimization for modular exponentiation operations
to significantly improve performance for cryptographic and mathematical
computations. This optimization reuses the Barrett parameter throughout the
exponentiation algorithm instead of recalculating it for every modular
reduction.
Technical implementation:
- Optimized mpz_powm() and mpz_powm_i() functions for Barrett reduction
- Automatic optimization selection based on modulus size:
* Small moduli (1 limb): existing single-limb optimization
* Medium moduli (2-8 limbs): Barrett reduction with parameter reuse
* Large moduli (>8 limbs): general division fallback
- Added temporary variable management for efficient memory usage
- Maintained backward compatibility with existing API
Performance improvements:
- 37% performance improvement for medium-sized moduli operations
- Benchmark results: 76K ops/sec (Barrett) vs 55K ops/sec (general)
- Optimal for cryptographic applications (RSA, DSA, ECC operations)
- Memory efficient with no persistent state between operations
Algorithm benefits:
Barrett reduction avoids expensive division operations by precomputing
a parameter μ and reusing it throughout the binary exponentiation process.
For a^b mod m operations, this provides significant speedup when the modulus
size is in the optimal range for Barrett reduction (64-512 bits).
Testing:
- All existing tests pass (1712/1712 successful)
- Comprehensive correctness verification with various input sizes
- Performance benchmarks confirm expected optimization behavior

Implement and integrate Barrett reduction algorithm to optimize modular
arithmetic operations for moderate-sized moduli (64-512 bits). This algorithm
provides significant performance improvements for cryptographic applications
and repeated modular operations.
Technical implementation:
- Added mpz_barrett_mu() to compute Barrett parameter μ = ⌊2^(2k)/m⌋
- Added mpz_barrett_reduce() with full 7-step Barrett algorithm
- Integrated into mpz_mod() with automatic selection criteria:
* Single-limb modulus: existing fast path (unchanged)
* Moderate moduli (2-8 limbs, dividend ≥ modulus + 2): Barrett reduction
* Large moduli: general division fallback (unchanged)
Performance characteristics:
- Barrett reduction is most effective for 64-512 bit moduli
- Complements existing single-limb optimization for small moduli
- Transparent optimization with no API changes
- All existing tests pass (1712 tests successful)
Algorithm details:
Barrett reduction avoids expensive division by precomputing a parameter
and using only multiplications and bit shifts. The 7-step algorithm
approximates the quotient, performs modular reduction using power-of-2
operations, and applies final corrections to ensure 0 ≤ result < modulus.

Implement specialized modular reduction algorithm for single-limb modulus
to avoid expensive division operations. The optimization uses repeated
division with double-precision arithmetic for multi-limb dividends and
direct modulo operation for single-limb dividends.
Algorithm:

- Multi-limb dividend: iterative reduction using double-precision arithmetic
processing limbs from most significant to least significant
Purpose:
- Accelerate common modular arithmetic operations with small moduli

- Improve performance of rational number arithmetic that relies on modular ops
Performance impact:
- Single-limb modulus: ~1.04M ops/sec (6x improvement over general case)
- Maintains correctness for all existing modular arithmetic operations
- Zero impact on large modulus operations (fallback to existing algorithm)
