// Binary GCD lifted verbatim from [1], minus the base checks.
// The identities mentioned in the comments are the following:
// 1. `gcd(n, 0) = n`: everything divides 0 and n is the largest number that divides n.
// 2. `gcd(2n, 2m) = 2*gcd(n, m)`: 2 is a common divisor
// 3. `gcd(n, 2m) = gcd(n, m)` if m is odd: 2 is then not a common divisor.
// 4. `gcd(n, m) = gcd(n, m - n)` if n, m odd and n <= m
//
// As GCD is commutative `gcd(n, m) = gcd(m, n)` those identities still apply if the operands are swapped.
