sagemathgh-38908: Don't (mis)use prec_words_to_bits()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
    
We need to remove this function from cypari2, because pari 2.17 has
changed precision from words to bits which would cause confusion.

Besides, the current usage is incorrect, since `log_pari.precision()`
will give the precision in *decimal digits* not in words.

See: sagemath#38749
