Feature: floor division #69

Closed mdickinson closed 9 years ago

mdickinson commented 9 years ago

This PR:

implements floor division, Python-style modulus, and divmod.
switches the implementation of % on BigFloats to use Python-style semantics for negative operands.
renames the old mod function to fmod.
adds new mod and floordiv functions for the new % semantics and the // operation, respectively.
removes the checks for MPFR version >= 2.4.0; we now require version 3.0 or later.
