Done and pushed.

Looks reasonable to me:

Before:

size=1, mpn_hgcd2_1 0.000001154
size=1, mpn_hgcd2_2 0.000001552
size=1, mpn_hgcd2_3 0.000001138
#define HGCD2_METHOD                     ...
#define HGCD2_METHOD                         3  /* 1.38% faster than 1 */

After: 

size=1, mpn_hgcd2, method 1 0.000001160
size=1, mpn_hgcd2, method 2 0.000001548
size=1, mpn_hgcd2, method 3 0.000001146
#define HGCD2_METHOD                     ...
#define HGCD2_METHOD                         3  /* 1.20% faster than 1 */

I only get this _METHOD and JACOBI_BASE_METHOD on my machine, though.
DIV_QR_1N_PI1_METHOD and MOD_1_1P_METHOD which also use the new helper
are both skipped.

Regards,
