// This function looks at `w + 1` scalar bits (`w` current, 1 adjacent less
// significant bit), and recodes them into a signed digit for use in fast point
// multiplication: the use of signed rather than unsigned digits means that
// fewer points need to be precomputed, given that point inversion is easy (a
// precomputed point dP makes -dP available as well).
//
// BACKGROUND:
//
// Signed digits for multiplication were introduced by Booth ("A signed binary
// multiplication technique", Quart. Journ. Mech. and Applied Math., vol. IV,
// pt. 2 (1951), pp. 236-240), in that case for multiplication of integers.
// Booth's original encoding did not generally improve the density of nonzero
// digits over the binary representation, and was merely meant to simplify the
// handling of signed factors given in two's complement; but it has since been
// shown to be the basis of various signed-digit representations that do have
// further advantages, including the wNAF, using the following general
// approach:
//
// (1) Given a binary representation
//
//       b_k  ...  b_2  b_1  b_0,
//
//     of a nonnegative integer (b_k in {0, 1}), rewrite it in digits 0, 1, -1
//     by using bit-wise subtraction as follows:
//
//        b_k b_(k-1)  ...  b_2  b_1  b_0
//      -     b_k      ...  b_3  b_2  b_1  b_0
//       -------------------------------------
//        s_k b_(k-1)  ...  s_3  s_2  s_1  s_0
//
//     A left-shift followed by subtraction of the original value yields a new
//     representation of the same value, using signed bits s_i = b_(i+1) - b_i.
//     This representation from Booth's paper has since appeared in the
//     literature under a variety of different names including "reversed binary
//     form", "alternating greedy expansion", "mutual opposite form", and
//     "sign-alternating {+-1}-representation".
//
//     An interesting property is that among the nonzero bits, values 1 and -1
//     strictly alternate.
//
// (2) Various window schemes can be applied to the Booth representation of
//     integers: for example, right-to-left sliding windows yield the wNAF
//     (a signed-digit encoding independently discovered by various researchers
//     in the 1990s), and left-to-right sliding windows yield a left-to-right
//     equivalent of the wNAF (independently discovered by various researchers
//     around 2004).
//
// To prevent leaking information through side channels in point multiplication,
// we need to recode the given integer into a regular pattern: sliding windows
// as in wNAFs won't do, we need their fixed-window equivalent -- which is a few
// decades older: we'll be using the so-called "modified Booth encoding" due to
// MacSorley ("High-speed arithmetic in binary computers", Proc. IRE, vol. 49
// (1961), pp. 67-91), in a radix-2**w setting.  That is, we always combine `w`
// signed bits into a signed digit, e.g. (for `w == 5`):
//
//       s_(4j + 4) s_(4j + 3) s_(4j + 2) s_(4j + 1) s_(4j)
//
// The sign-alternating property implies that the resulting digit values are
// integers from `-2**(w-1)` to `2**(w-1)`, e.g. -16 to 16 for `w == 5`.
//
// Of course, we don't actually need to compute the signed digits s_i as an
// intermediate step (that's just a nice way to see how this scheme relates
// to the wNAF): a direct computation obtains the recoded digit from the
// six bits b_(4j + 4) ... b_(4j - 1).
//
// This function takes those `w` bits as an integer, writing the recoded digit
// to |*is_negative| (a mask for `constant_time_select_s`) and |*digit|
// (absolute value, in the range 0 .. 2**(w-1).  Note that this integer
// essentially provides the input bits "shifted to the left" by one position.
// For example, the input to compute the least significant recoded digit, given
// that there's no bit b_-1, has to be b_4 b_3 b_2 b_1 b_0 0.
