Manuel Zahariev d2ea77c099 LibCrypto: Improve efficiency of UnsignedBigInteger::shift_left
Before:
- a separate Word element allocation of the underlying Vector<Word> was
necessary for every new word in a multi-word shift
- two additional temporary UnsignedBigInteger buffers were allocated
and passed through, including in downstream calls (e.g. Multiplication)
- an additional allocation and word shift for the carry
- FIXME note seems to point to some of these issues

After:
- main change is in LibCrypto/BigInt/Algorithms/BitwiseOperations.cpp
- one single allocation per call, using shift_left_by_n_words
- only the input "number" and "output" need to be allocated by the
  caller
- downstream calls are adapted not to allocate or pass temporary
  buffers
- noticeable performance improvement when running TestBigInteger:
  0.41-0.42s (before) to 0.28-0.29s (after) Intel Core i9 laptop

Bonus: remove unused variables from UnsignedBigInteger::divided_by
- These were likely cut-and-paste artifacts from
  UnsignedBigInteger::multiplied_by; not caught by "unused-varible".

NOTE: making this change in a separate commit than shift_right, even if
it touches the same file BitwiseOperations.cpp since:
- it is a "bonus" addition: not necessary for fixing the shift_right
  bug, but logically unrelated to the shift_right code
- it brings a chain of downstream interface modifications (7 files),
  unrelated to shift_right
