1) Use _mpd_basedivmod() regardless of the length of the dividend. This is
required for a corner case in dec_hash() in the following commit and also
usually faster. dec_hash() needs some extra precision above MPD_MAX_PREC,
and _mpd_base_ndivmod() is not audited for that.
2) Use _mpd_basemul() if the length of the smaller operand is less than
or equal to 256. While this is technically an optimization, it is
required for *testing* corner cases in dec_hash() in reasonable time.
