Subject: [PATCH RESEND V3 2/6] rslib: Replace hard-coded 1 with alpha_to[0]

Currently the rslib allows customizing the finite field by the `gffunc'
parameter of init_rs_non_canonical(). However, there are several places
in rslib use hard-coded 1 instead of alpha_to[0], leading to errors if
gffunc(0) != 1. This patch fixes the problem. One of such `gffunc' might
be gffunc'(x) = swab16(gffunc(swab16(x))), as gffunc'(0) = swab16(1).
This special gffunc'(x) is useful when implementing RS coder for
16 bit foreign-endian symbols.
