Stage 3: one reduction per coefficient in Fp6 and in the cyclotomic square

The reduction modulo p of a BigInt costs several times a product, and the
formulas of kilic reduce every product. The field layer gains FpWide, a sum
of products not yet reduced, and the product and the square of Fp6, its
product by the sparse element of a line and the square in Fp4 of the
cyclotomic square add their products in that form and reduce each
coefficient once. The values are the same, which the vectors of Go check;
a pairing takes about 15 % less on the VM and 13 % less on Node.js.
