 For some applications one would like to work with the "odd primary
 Steenrod algebra at the prime 2". The attached patch introduces a new
 keyword "generic" that allows to do this:

 {{{
   sage: EA=SteenrodAlgebra(p=2,generic=True) ; EA
   generic mod 2 Steenrod algebra, milnor basis
   sage: EA[8]
   Vector space spanned by (Q_0 Q_2, Q_0 Q_1 P(2), P(1,1), P(4)) over
 Finite Field of size 2
   sage: SteenrodAlgebra(p=2,generic=True,basis='adem')[7]
   Vector space spanned by (beta P^2 P^1, beta P^3, P^2 P^1 beta, P^3 beta)
 over Finite Field of size 2
 }}}
