Previously, suspending between the two bytes of a >8-bit index or count
could lead to accumulation of an incorrect value. This commit breaks
each of the index and count states into X_{msb,lsb}, where _msb reads
the >8th bits and stores them in the accumulator, and _lsb reads the
lower 8 bits (or all of them, if the total value is < 8). This adds
another point where the state machine can suspend and resume without any
loss of information, if necessary.
