Brian Kessler f5949b6067 math/big: allow all values for GCD
Allow the inputs a and b to be zero or negative to GCD
with the following definitions.

If x or y are not nil, GCD sets their value such that z = a*x + b*y.
Regardless of the signs of a and b, z is always >= 0.
If a == b == 0, GCD sets z = x = y = 0.
If a == 0 and b != 0, GCD sets z = |b|, x = 0, y = sign(b) * 1.
If a != 0 and b == 0, GCD sets z = |a|, x = sign(a) * 1, y = 0.

Fixes #28878
