I don't really know how many local XORs our protocols (think) they
do... depending on that, this issue could be rather important.

Like mul, Runtime.xor should do a local computation if one of the
operands is a known constant.

Right now it just wraps whatever it gets and calls add and mul, and
because of the wrapping a slow multiplication will take place.

Maybe the wrapping is wrong?

Or maybe we should start tracking the sharing degree of all Share
objects. I think that would be the most general and most precise
solution, and it would also enable the lazy Shamir sharing talked
about in Issue 9.
