Pure-Rust implementation of HQC (Hamming Quasi-Cyclic) post-quantum KEM

// Poly<P: HqcParams>: bit-packed polynomial in R = F2[X]/(X^n - 1).
//
// Representation: [u64; MAX_N_WORDS] — fixed maximum capacity (HQC-256 needs
// 901 words). For smaller parameter sets the high words are always zero.
// This avoids heap allocation while keeping stable Rust (generic_const_exprs
// is not yet stable, so [u64; P::N_WORDS] as a struct field is not possible).
//
// Word ordering: little-endian — bit i lives in words[i/64] at position i%64.
// Only the first N bits are meaningful; bits N..MAX_N_WORDS*64 are always zero.
