  -----------
  Decouple BIGNUM from OSSL_FN in the design doc

Reflect the decision (openssl/project#2018) to stop wrapping BN_
operator functions around OSSL_FN_ operator functions: BN functions
keep their current behaviour, and BIGNUM<->OSSL_FN conversion
happens at top-level crypto call sites.

Also drop the "Dropping top from BIGNUM" section and the stale
TODO(FIXNUM) field-removal comments, since `top` stays in BIGNUM.
