To compute all `l`-isogenies, Sage uses a function `mult(f)` which
computes
{{{
gcd( numerator(f(m)), psi )
}}}
where `m` is a rational function giving the multiplication-by-`m` map.
Instead of the above computation, the inverse direction is actually easier
to compute: given `g`, we want to find `f` such that
{{{
gcd( numerator(f(m)), psi ) = g
}}}
Using some theory, this is equivalent to
{{{
f(m) = 0 mod g
}}}
Since `f` must be irreducible, this is just the characteristic (= minimal)
polynomial of `a/b mod g`.
