Fibonacci Fast

/**
 * @file
 * @brief Faster computation of Fibonacci series.
 *
 * @details
 * An efficient way to calculate nth fibonacci number faster and simpler than
 * \f$O(n\log n)\f$ method of matrix exponentiation. This works by using both
 * recursion and dynamic programming. As 93rd fibonacci exceeds 19 digits, which
 * cannot be stored in a single long long variable, we can only use it till 92nd
 * fibonacci we can use it for 10000th fibonacci etc, if we implement
 * bigintegers. This algorithm works with the fact that nth fibonacci can easily
 * found if we have already found \f$n/2\f$th or \f$(n+1)/2\f$th fibonacci. It is a property
 * of fibonacci similar to matrix exponentiation.
