// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// A variable length quantity (VLQ) is an encoding that uses an arbitrary number
// of binary octets to represent an arbitrarily large integer.  The scheme
// employs a most significant byte (MSB) base-128 encoding where the high bit in
// each byte indicates whether or not the byte is the final one.  In addition,
// to ensure there are no redundant encodings, an offset is subtracted every
// time a group of 7 bits is shifted out.  Therefore each integer can be
// represented in exactly one way, and each representation stands for exactly
// one integer.
//
// Another nice property of this encoding is that it provides a compact
// representation of values that are typically used to indicate sizes.  For
// example, the values 0 - 127 are represented with a single byte, 128 - 16511
// with two bytes, and 16512 - 2113663 with three bytes.
//
// While the encoding allows arbitrarily large integers, it is artificially
// limited in this code to an unsigned 64-bit integer for efficiency purposes.
//
// Example encodings:
//           0 -> [0x00]
//         127 -> [0x7f]                 * Max 1-byte value
//         128 -> [0x80 0x00]
//         129 -> [0x80 0x01]
//         255 -> [0x80 0x7f]
//         256 -> [0x81 0x00]
//       16511 -> [0xff 0x7f]            * Max 2-byte value
//       16512 -> [0x80 0x80 0x00]
//       32895 -> [0x80 0xff 0x7f]
//     2113663 -> [0xff 0xff 0x7f]       * Max 3-byte value
//   270549119 -> [0xff 0xff 0xff 0x7f]  * Max 4-byte value
//      2^64-1 -> [0x80 0xfe 0xfe 0xfe 0xfe 0xfe 0xfe 0xfe 0xfe 0x7f]

// algorithm is used which relies on there typically being a lot of zeroes at
// end of the amounts.  The compression algorithm used here was obtained from
// Bitcoin Core, so all credits for the algorithm go to it.
//
// While this is simply exchanging one uint64 for another, the resulting value
// for typical amounts has a much smaller magnitude which results in fewer bytes
// when encoded as variable length quantity.  For example, consider the amount
// of 0.1 BTC which is 10000000 satoshi.  Encoding 10000000 as a VLQ would take
// 4 bytes while encoding the compressed value of 8 as a VLQ only takes 1 byte.
//
// Essentially the compression is achieved by splitting the value into an
// exponent in the range [0-9] and a digit in the range [1-9], when possible,
// and encoding them in a way that can be decoded.  More specifically, the
// encoding is as follows:
// - 0 is 0
// - Find the exponent, e, as the largest power of 10 that evenly divides the
//   value up to a maximum of 9
// - When e < 9, the final digit can't be 0 so store it as d and remove it by
//   dividing the value by 10 (call the result n).  The encoded value is thus:
//   1 + 10*(9*n + d-1) + e
// - When e==9, the only thing known is the amount is not 0.  The encoded value
//   is thus:
//   1 + 10*(n-1) + e   ==   10 + 10*(n-1)
//
// Example encodings:
// (The numbers in parenthesis are the number of bytes when serialized as a VLQ)
//            0 (1) -> 0        (1)           *  0.00000000 BTC
//         1000 (2) -> 4        (1)           *  0.00001000 BTC
//        10000 (2) -> 5        (1)           *  0.00010000 BTC
//     12345678 (4) -> 111111101(4)           *  0.12345678 BTC
