Tim Peters 03b18834c3 For clarity, change _longobject to build directly from PyObject_VAR_HEAD
instead of faking it by hand.  It *is* a var object, and nothing but
hysterical raisins to pretend it's an oddball.

These shouldn't have to be changed as C should guarantee that a short
contains at least 16 bits, but it's made changeable anyway.
Note: 'digit' should be able to hold 2*MASK+1, and 'twodigits'
should be able to hold the intermediate results in 'mul'
(at most MASK << SHIFT).
Also, x_sub assumes that 'digit' is an unsigned type, and overflow
is handled by taking the result mod 2**N for some N > SHIFT.
And, at some places it is assumed that MASK fits in an int, as well. */

The absolute value of a number is equal to
SUM(for i=0 through abs(ob_size)-1) ob_digit[i] * 2**(SHIFT*i)
Negative numbers are represented with ob_size < 0;
zero is represented by ob_size == 0.
In a normalized number, ob_digit[abs(ob_size)-1] (the most significant
digit) is never zero. Also, in all cases, for all valid i,
0 <= ob_digit[i] <= MASK.
The allocation function takes care of allocating extra memory
so that ob_digit[0] ... ob_digit[abs(ob_size)-1] are actually available.
CAUTION: Generic code manipulating subtypes of PyVarObject has to
aware that longs abuse ob_size's sign bit.
