One step of the half-GCD algorithm (_gr_poly_hgcd): for \mathit{lena} > \mathit{lenb} > 0, computes the 2 \times 2 matrix M (the entries M[0], ..., M[3] with lengths lenM[0], ..., lenM[3], each with space for lena coefficients) and the two consecutive remainders A, B of the Euclidean remainder sequence of (a, b) that straddle half the degree of a, such that (A, B)^T = \sigma M^{-1} (a, b)^T, and returns the sign \sigma = \pm 1. A and B need space for lena and lenb coefficients; their lengths are returned in *lenA, *lenB. See Half-GCD.
