Speeds up digitDiv:neg: at about 20%.

Precondition: 2163LargeIntegersPlugin

If you don't know how to compile a plugin, this changeset is probably of
no interest for you.

Try:

| divident divisor |
divident _ 1 << 1000. divisor _ 7.
[10000 timesRepeat: [divident digitDiv: divisor neg: false]] timeToRun


Implementation:

In >>cCoreDigitDivDiv:len:rem:len:quo:len: the 'nibble' arithmetic is
removed.
