No internal interfaces are strictly fixed, I suppose.

We've had internal 2-adic *_bdiv_* functions for a while, with redc_*
being mostly redundant, and also less general.  Originally, the
*_bdiv_* functions and redc_* could generate remainders which where off
by d, d being the divisor.

Obsoleting redc_* is a cleanup, simplification, and generalisation as
they *_bdiv_* functions allow separately defined operand sizes.

I don't expect any speedup except as a result of better implementations
of newer assembly.  Currently, we only have one sbpi1_bdiv_r in assembly
(for AMD Zen).  I plan on converting the assembly redc_1 into
sbpi1_bdiv_r form.
