[issue21922] PyLong: use GMP

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson added the comment:

I *do* have an objection to adding the configure option:  from that point on, it means that maintaining the GMP-based long implementation is now the responsibility of the core developers, and I think that's an unnecessary maintenance burden, for an option that few users will care about.  I think having two long integer implementations in the core is worse than having one.
