 `PolynomialQuotientRing_generic.construction()` calls `is_field()` in
 attempt to pass `as_field=True` to `QuotientFunctor` in some cases. As far
 as I understand, this is not necessary, and probably even incorrect
 (`PolynomialQuotientRing_generic` has no `field()` method, only
 `number_field()`, and `NumberField`s are constructed using
 `AlgebraicExtensionFunctor`, not `QuotientFunctor`), but this breaks basic
 arithmetic when polynomial factorization over the cover ring is not
 implemented.
