/* This function looks at 5+1 scalar bits (5 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-2^5 setting.  That is, we always combine five
 * signed bits into a signed digit:
 *
 *       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 -16 to 16.
 *
 * 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 five bits as an integer (0 .. 63), writing the
 * recoded digit to *sign (0 for positive, 1 for negative) and *digit (absolute
 * value, in the range 0 .. 8).  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. */
