 * The first byte in a patch is the "patch type", which indicates how the

 * the library can be applied with a newer version.
 *
 * PT_LITERAL
 *     Contains nothing more than the content of the new text.
 *
 * PT_CSI32
 *     A string of copy, skip, and insert instructions for generating the new
 *     string from the old.
 *
 *         copy(size):   Copy @size bytes from old to new.
 *         skip(size):   Skip @size bytes of old.
 *         insert(text): Insert @text into new.
 *
 *     The syntax is as follows:
 *
 *         copy:   instruction_byte(1) size
 *         skip:   instruction_byte(2) size
 *         insert: instruction_byte(3) size $size*OCTET

 *               -- size is an unsigned integer encoded in big endian.
 *               -- However, if size_param_length is 0, the operation size is 1.
 *
 *     Simply put, an instruction starts with an opcode and operation size.
 *     An insert instruction is followed by the bytes to be inserted.

 * bdelta uses the algorithm described in:
 *
 *     Myers, E. (1986). An O(ND) Difference Algorithm and Its Variations.
 *     Retrieved from http://www.xmailserver.org/diff2.pdf
 *
 * The pseudocode in Myers' paper (Figure 2) uses an array called V,
 * where (V[k], V[k] - k) is the endpoint of the furthest-reaching
 * D-path ending on diagonal k.
 *
 * The structure below holds the V array for every iteration of the outer loop.
 * Because each iteration produces D+1 values, a triangle is formed:
 *
 *                      k
 *        -5 -4 -3 -2 -1  0  1  2  3  4  5
 *      ----------------------------------
 *    0 |                 0                (copy 0)
 *      |                   \              skip 1
 *    1 |              0     1
 *      |                      \           skip 1, then copy 1
 *    2 |           2     2     3
 *  D   |                      /           insert 1, then copy 2
 *    3 |        3     4     5     5
 *      |                     \            skip 1, then copy 1
 *    4 |     3     4     5     7     7
 *      |                      /           insert 1
 *    5 |  3     4     5     7     -     -
 *
 * @data will literally contain: 0 0 1 2 2 3 3 4 5 5 3 4 5 7 7 3 4 5 7
 *
 * To convert this to an edit script, we first climb back to the top,
 * using the same procedure as was used when the triangle was generated:
 *
 *     If k = -D, climb right (the only way we can go).
 *     If k = +D, climb left  (the only way we can go).
 *     Otherwise, favor the greater number.
 *     If the numbers are the same, climb left.
 *
 * Finally, we convert the descent to the solution to a patch script:
 *
 *     The top number n corresponds to:
 *         copy   n
 *
 *     A descent left from a to b corresponds to:
 *         insert 1
 *         copy   b-a
 *
 *     A descent right from a to b corresponds to:
 *         skip   1
 *         copy   b-a-1
