Big integer multiplication is currently used only as part of modular
exponentiation, where both multiplicand and multiplier will be the
same size.
Relax this requirement to allow for the use of big integer
multiplication in other contexts.

bigint_mod_multiply() and bigint_mod_exp() require a fixed amount of
temporary storage for intermediate results. (The amount of temporary
storage required depends upon the size of the integers involved.)
When performing calculations for 4096-bit RSA the amount of temporary
storage space required will exceed 2.5kB, which is too much to
allocate on the stack. Avoid this problem by forcing the caller to
allocate temporary storage.
