Tidy up scalar module

[stuarttimwhite]

Background and Motivation

MontScalar and Scalar logic is currently disorganized. We should consolidate this logic.

NOTE: The following issues are likely to modify the same files, so be aware of potential merge conflicts with other PRs:

1. Move InnerProductTypes out of base to proof_primitive #232
2. Make opaque Scalar conversions explicit rather than using From/Into trait. #228

Changes Required

• Combine any logic held within the four files "mont_scalar", "mont_scalar_from", "mont_scalar_test", "mont_scalar_from_test" into two files "mont_scalar" and "mont_scalar_test".
• Move the Scalar trait to its own "scalar" file within base/scalar.
