For compatibility with math/bits uint operations.

When math/big was written originally, the Go compiler used 32bit
int/uint values even on a 64bit machine. uintptr was the type that
represented the machine register size. Now, the int/uint types are
sized to the native machine register size, so they are the natural
machine Word type.

On most machines, the size of int/uint correspond to the size of
uintptr. On platforms where uint and uintptr have different sizes,
this change may lead to performance differences (e.g., amd64p32).
