Motivated by PR #2154 (which made me realize that LcmInt(100, 1) will allocate a temporary T_INTPOS object only to immediately discard it again), this PR gives a tiny speed boost, but more importantly, avoids unnecessary allocation of temporary memory.

Before:

Just for the kicks, this is what I get in GAP 4.8 (of course most of the speed up is due to @markuspf work on LcmInt, and mine on GMP support in general):
