Justsomebuddy 29ac4d8491 sage: verify Eisenstein integer connection for GLV constants
Add assertions to verify that the GLV decomposition constants arise
from the Eisenstein integer factorization of the group order N.

The group order factors as N = pi * conj(pi) in Z[w], where pi = A - B*w
is an Eisenstein prime. The GLV eigenvalue LAMBDA = B/A mod N, which is
the image of w^2 under the isomorphism Z[w]/(pi) -> Z/NZ.
