[crypto] Use Montgomery reduction for modular exponentiation
Speed up modular exponentiation by using Montgomery reduction rather
than direct modular reduction.
Montgomery reduction in base 2^n requires the modulus to be coprime to
2^n, which would limit us to requiring that the modulus is an odd
number. Extend the implementation to include support for
exponentiation with even moduli via Garner's algorithm as described in
"Montgomery reduction with even modulus" (Koç, 1994).
Since almost all use cases for modular exponentation require a large
prime (and hence odd) modulus, the support for even moduli could
potentially be removed in future.
