Olivier Chéron 3c41966b9a Add module Crypto.Number.Nat
This new module exposes type constraints required by some hash
algorithms and provides functions to check whether the constraints are
satisfied with runtime values.

Resolves #256.

-- Module : Crypto.Number.Nat
-- License : BSD-style
-- Maintainer : Vincent Hanquez <vincent@snarc.org>
-- Stability : experimental
-- Portability : Good
--
-- Numbers at type level.
--
-- This module provides extensions to "GHC.TypeLits" and "GHC.TypeNats" useful
-- to work with cryptographic algorithms parameterized with a variable bit
-- length. Constraints like @'IsDivisibleBy8' n@ ensure that the type-level
-- parameter is applicable to the algorithm.
--
-- Functions are also provided to test whether constraints are satisfied from
-- values known at runtime. The following example shows how to discharge
-- 'IsDivisibleBy8' in a computation @fn@ requiring this constraint:
--
-- > withDivisibleBy8 :: Integer
-- > -> (forall proxy n . (KnownNat n, IsDivisibleBy8 n) => proxy n -> a)
-- > -> Maybe a
-- > withDivisibleBy8 len fn = do
-- > SomeNat p <- someNatVal len
-- > Refl <- isDivisibleBy8 p
-- > pure (fn p)
--
-- Function @withDivisibleBy8@ above returns 'Nothing' when the argument @len@
-- is negative or not divisible by 8.
