Accept (prime, exponent) arguments to GF constructor

See original GitHub issue

p = 2**61-1 is prime. galois.GF(p*p) takes ~3 hours to return. The factory already accepts a polynomial argument, so it would be really nice if I could say galois.GF(p, [1, 0, 1]) and get on with using the quadratic extension (yes, x**2 + 1 is irreducible over GF(p)).
