fix: clean up scalar_mul, reuse field mul_wide for product computation

Browse Source 
- Remove dead code from multiple scalar_mul reduction attempts
- Use the proven mul_wide function from field.c for both the 8-limb
  product and the hi*NC reduction product
- Two-stage reduction: fold t[4..7]*NC, then fold any remaining high part
- Export mul_wide (remove static) for cross-module use

Scalar modular reduction still has a carry issue for large intermediate
products (c2 * MINUS_B2 in GLV). The product computation (mul_wide) is
verified correct. The fold step loses exactly NC[1] = 0x4551231950B75FC4
at limb position 2, suggesting a column-sum overflow in the second fold.
