According to the GMP 4.3.2 source, mpn_sqr_n doesn't appear at all
in gmp.h; there's just a mpn_sqr_n macro in gmp-impl.h, so that
I don't see how it could be used under normal use, even though it
was documented.

FYI, the MPFR code refers to mpn_sqr_n, but under normal builds,
this is just a macro defined by MPFR (really, I think it shouldn't,
but this comes from old code). MPFR can use GMP's mpn_sqr_n only
if MPFR was configured with --with-gmp-build, but in such a case,
versioning and things like that are not supposed to be supported.
