Merge #684: Make no-float policy explicit

bae1bea3c4b46a2fb5ca76ff6bf1e98d43cff52f Make no-float policy explicit (Tim Ruffing)

Pull request description:

  We don't want floating types for various reasons, e.g.,
   - Their representation and often their behavior is implementation-defined.
   - Many targets don't support them.

  Closes #683.

@ -23,6 +23,7 @@ Implementation details
* Extensive testing infrastructure.
* Structured to facilitate review and analysis.
* Intended to be portable to any system with a C89 compiler and uint64_t support.
* No use of floating types, except in benchmarks.
* Expose only higher level interfaces to minimize the API surface and improve application security. ("Be difficult to use insecurely.")
* Field operations
* Optimized implementation of arithmetic modulo the curve's field size (2^256 - 0x1000003D1).
