#12552: degree of polynomial_element is of type int

-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
The degree of a polynomial over {{{RDF}}} is of type {{{int}}} and not a
sage Integer.
{{{
sage: R.<x> = RDF[]
sage: type(x.degree())
<type 'int'>
sage: x.degree().divides(6)
Error
}}}
This is not consistent with polynomials over other rings:
{{{
sage: R.<x> = QQ[]
sage: type(x.degree())
<type 'sage.rings.integer.Integer'>
sage: x.degree().divides(6)
True
}}}
The attached patch fixes this.
