Fixes #36427
As pointed out in #36427, attempting to calculate the gcd of two sparse polynomials raises a
ZeroDivisionError
if one of the polynomials is constant, and the other has large degree (at least 100).This is caused by an error in the code that tests whether converting either of the polynomials to FLINT will be very slow. To fix this, we check each polynomial individually, instead of trying to consider both polynomials at once.
