/** Implements arithmetic modulo FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFE FFFFFC2F,
* represented as 5 uint64_t's in base 2^52. The values are allowed to contain >52 each. In particular,
* each FieldElem has a 'magnitude' associated with it. Internally, a magnitude M means each element
* is at most M*(2^53-1), except the most significant one, which is limited to M*(2^49-1). All operations
* accept any input with magnitude at most M, and have different rules for propagating magnitude to their
* output.
* represented as 5 uint64_t's in base 2^52, least significant first. Note that the limbs are allowed to
* contain >52 bits each.
*
* Each field element has a 'magnitude' associated with it. Internally, a magnitude M means:
* - 2*M*(2^48-1) is the max (inclusive) of the most significant limb
* - 2*M*(2^52-1) is the max (inclusive) of the remaining limbs
*
* Operations have different rules for propagating magnitude to their outputs. If an operation takes a
* magnitude M as a parameter, that means the magnitude of input field elements can be at most M (inclusive).
*
* Each field element also has a 'normalized' flag. A field element is normalized if its magnitude is either
* 0 or 1, and its value is already reduced modulo the order of the field.
