ocaml: phase 5.1 fib_mod.ml baseline (Fibonacci mod prime, fib(100) mod 1000003 = 391360)

Iterative two-ref Fibonacci with modular reduction every step:

  let fib_mod n m =
    let a = ref 0 in
    let b = ref 1 in
    for _ = 1 to n do
      let c = (!a + !b) mod m in
      a := !b;
      b := c
    done;
    !a

The 100th Fibonacci is 354_224_848_179_261_915_075, well past JS
safe-int (2^53). Modular reduction every step keeps intermediate
values within int53 precision so the answer is exact in our
runtime. fib(100) mod 1000003 = 391360.
