Simplify the final reduction in mpi_montmul

Browse source 
There was some confusion during review about when A->p[n] could be
nonzero. In fact, there is no need to set A->p[n]: only the
intermediate result d might need to extend to n+1 limbs, not the final
result A. So never access A->p[n]. Rework the explanation of the
calculation in a way that should be easier to follow.
