// GenerateRealFromBits generates a single real value from a single 64-bit
// `bits` with template fields controlling the output.
//
// The `SignedTag` parameter controls whether positive, negative,
// or either signed/unsigned may be returned.
//   When SignedTag == GeneratePositiveTag, range is U(0, 1)
//   When SignedTag == GenerateNegativeTag, range is U(-1, 0)
//   When SignedTag == GenerateSignedTag, range is U(-1, 1)
//
// When the `IncludeZero` parameter is true, the function may return 0 for some
// inputs, otherwise it never returns 0.
//
// When a value in U(0,1) is required, use:
//   GenerateRealFromBits<double, PositiveValueT, true>;
//
// When a value in U(-1,1) is required, use:
//   GenerateRealFromBits<double, SignedValueT, false>;
//
//   This generates more distinct values than the mathematical equivalent
//   `U(0, 1) * 2.0 - 1.0`.
//
// Scaling the result by powers of 2 (and avoiding a multiply) is also possible:
//   GenerateRealFromBits<double>(..., -1);  => U(0, 0.5)
//   GenerateRealFromBits<double>(..., 1);   => U(0, 2)
