This unifies the naming scheme of all predecoded signals and aligns the names with the non predecoded signals.

Previously, the naming was inconsistent and either <component>_predec_bignum or <component>_bignum_predec. Now it is <component>_bignum_predec which matches with <component>_bignum_operation signal naming as well as other signals like <component>_predec_error.

This relates to #4166

Looks sensible to me, and I'm a fan of the consistency.

No risk to the design: this is just a naming tidy-up.
