Adding support for Galois field orders up to 31

[Ben-Mathews]

The version of bch.c that python-bchlib wraps only supports GF orders up to 15. This change extends support for GF orders up to 31.

Hi Ben,

Since the change simple enough, do you think you can get this into the Linux kernel? I don't want to diverge from the kernel code if I don't have to.

Thanks for your contribution!

Hi Jeff - Sorry for the delay. That makes complete sense and I figured that would be your response but wanted to make you aware of the change. Thank you for publishing such a useful Python wrapper! I'll submit the change to the kernel and hopefully they'll accept it.

Let me know if they reject it, I'll merge in that case!

Since this has never made it upstream, I'm going to go ahead and merge it so you get credit in the next major release.
