I prefer separate types so that the type system enforces that a key is never
accidentally used as an accumulator, and vice versa. Then the poly1305_core_*
functions will be harder to misuse, and the Poly1305 MAC implementations harder
to get wrong.
The key also has certain bits clear whereas the accumulator does not. In the
future, the Poly1305 C implementation might use base 2^32 and take advantage of
this. In that case, the two inputs to each multiplication won't be
interchangeable, so using the same type for both would be extra confusing.
Having a poly1305_val nested inside poly1305_key and poly1305_state would work,
but seemed excessive.
