/*
    Calculate quotient and remainder of u / v using fast recursive division.
    v must be normalised, and must be at least half as long as u.
    Given u and v, v normalised, calculates  quotient  = u/v, u = u%v.
    scratch is temporary storage space, length must be >= quotient + 1.

Returns:
    u[0 .. v.length] is the remainder. u[v.length..$] is corrupted.

    Implements algorithm 1.8 from MCA.
    This algorithm has an annoying special case. After the first recursion, the
    highest bit of the quotient may be set. This means that in the second
    recursive call, the 'in' contract would be violated. (This happens only
    when the top quarter of u is equal to the top half of v. A base 10
    equivalent example of this situation is 5517/56; the first step gives
    55/5 = 11). To maintain the in contract, we pad a zero to the top of both
    u and the quotient. 'mayOverflow' indicates that that the special case
    has occurred.
    (In MCA, a different strategy is used: the in contract is weakened, and
    schoolbookDivMod is more general: it allows the high bit of u to be set).
