Implement inverse operation for FieldElement. #10

@CPerezz

Description

@CPerezz

As seen on the code of field.rs, inverse() FieldElement function implementation remains unimplemented.

On dusk-network/dusk-zerocaf#12 we've just implemented the Kalinski's Montgomery Modular Inverse algorithm for the Doppio's FieldElement mod 2^252 + 27742317777372353535851937790883648493 (prime of the field).

So maybe I can make a PR with the implementation of the Inverse operation and the proper tests and doc comments if it's useful.
