Comment:
Notes:
- Before this patch, it was implicitly assumed that non-prime finite
fields are defined by Conway polynomials, because this is how GAP
represents finite fields. This is now an explicit requirement.
- Elements of a GAP prime field `Z(p)` are now converted into a Sage
`FiniteField(p)`, as opposed to `IntegerModRing(p)`.
