In regards comments on #646, this handles potential overflow in the remainder value.

// If r < b and q*y[-2] > r*x[-1], then set q = q - 1 and r = r + v1
let done = ConstChoice::from_word_nonzero((rem >> Word::BITS) as Word)
.or(ConstChoice::from_wide_word_le(qy, rx));
quo = done.select_word(quo.saturating_sub(1), quo);

Spot checking it in Godbolt saturating_sub uses cmovae on x86 and csel on aarch64, which (for now, until the optimizer decides differently) seem pretty ideal
