primitive element

* summary: K.gen() where K = GF(p) returns 1, not a primitive element =>
[with patch, needs review] K.gen() where K =
GF(p) returns 1, not a primitive element
Comment:
This is actually the correct behaviour. The function that returns a
primitive element is K.multiplicative_generator(), not K.gen(). There was
some inconsistency in the docstrings of the various types of finite
fields, which is fixed by the attached patch.
