Document a conservative input range for Montgomery math functions.

Browse Source 
The functions appear to try to handle negative inputs, but it isn't
clear how negative inputs are supposed to work and/or if these
functions work the way they are supposed to given negative inputs.
There seems to be no legitimate reason to pass these functions negative
inputs, so just document that negative inputs shouldn't be used. More
specifically, document that the inputs should be in the range [0, n)
where |n| is the Montgomery modulus.
