Maybe we should have some macrology for that? Or do all relevant
processors and compilers support efficient cmov these days? I'm sticking
to masking expressions for now.

Worries about side-channel leakage of cmov isn't so relevant for these
particular functions, since the use of MPN_INCR_U is a data dependent
loop anyway.
