clarify the documentation of `gr_poly_resultant`
According to the current text, the “sylvester version [...] is useful over inexact rings and as a fallback for rings without division”, but “no algorithm has been implemented that is appropriate for integral domains”. This seems self-contradictory to me, though it is probably just me not understanding what is meant by “appropriate” here.
Appropriate for integral domains would be to use the subresultant Euclidean algorithm since this has better complexity than a generic determinant computation. Likewise for gr_poly_gcd.
