The ModExtendedGCD function computes the solution to the modulo n extended greatest common divisor problem.
If b is a sequence of length k, then the return value is a list c of length k of non-negative integers such that gcd⁡n,a,b1,…,bk=gcd⁡n,a+c1⁢b1+⋯+ck⁢bk and ck,…,c1 is lexicographically minimal.
