Move each curve's field initialization into separate files so the fields can be initialized without dealing with the rest of the curve. In particular, this is useful for testing field implementations and parameters, which will be the focus of the next PR.
Change all curve files to use std::size_t. Change a few unused util functions to use ceil_size_in_bits() instead of size_in_bits(). Fix a compile error that references a deleted function bigint::operator%. Update documentation.
