Comment(by cjh):
As someone interested in this change, let me chime in with a few
suggestions of my own.
(1) A similar refactoring should be done for roots(). It's true factor()
can be used to find roots, but that's not necessarily the best approach.
This suggests the names ._univariate_polynomial_x for x=factor,roots,etc.
(2) So-called 'modular' gcd algorithms give a real boost to rings where
applicable, so it would be nice to let x=gcd in (1).
(3) Consider whether options such as 'multiplicities=False' should really
be options to .univariate_polynomial_factor() or whether they can be
handled 'universally'.
