New description:

 Add the algorithm by Bostain, Morain, Salvy and Schost for normalized
 isogenies in characteristic 0 or large enough.

Comment:

 Besides implementing BMSS, I cleaned a bit `ell_curve_isogeny`, moving the
 algorithms that do not work in any characteristic to a new module
 `ell_isogeny_char_zero`. In my view, only the `EllipticCurveIsogeny` class
 and Vélu/Kohel formulae should remain in ell_curve_isogeny` in the end.

 BMSS runs significantly faster than Stark's, and works for slightly larger
 characteristics, I thus set it as the default choice. I haven't produced
 any serious benchmarks, but I will if the reviewers ask me to.
