/* We calculate abs(x) as
 *   s = x >> 31;
 *   y = x + s;
 *   return y ^ s;
 *
 * If x >= 0, then s = 0, so clearly we return x.  On the other hand, if
 * x < 0, then we may write x as ~z + 1, where z = -x.  In this case,
 * s = -1, so y = x - 1 = ~z, and hence we return -1 ^ (x - 1) = -1 ^ ~z
 * = z = -x.
