This PR rejects polynomials that are formally non-zero but have some coefficients equal to zero, including cases where coefficients are reduced to zero over finite fields (see #312). As a side effect, zero polynomials are now ignored, which resolves the issue described in #311 (and #68).
Closes #311.
Closes #312.
