BoxedUint: add cond_map and cond_and_then

Unfortunately `BoxedUint` can't impl `subtle::ConditionallySelectable`
due to a supertrait bound on `Copy`. See dalek-cryptography/subtle#94

This bound is required by `CtOption::map` and `CtOption::and_then` which
are important for writing constant-time code.

As a workaround which makes it still possible to leverate `CtOption`,
this adds special `BoxedUint`-specialized combinators that are able to
work around this issue by generating a placeholder (zero) value to pass
to the provided callbacks in the event `CtOption` is none.

This requires branching on the output of `CtOption` (which is
unavoidable without an upstream fix in `subtle` itself), but still
ensures that the provided callback function is called with a `BoxedUint`
of a matching number of limbs regardless of whether the `CtOption` is
some or none, which is the best we can do for now (and really quite
close to what `subtle` is doing under the hood anyway).
