Description

Implement the (d-2) test in the Berlekamp-Zassenhaus algorithm. This test can rule out some cases missed by the (d-1) test. Where the (d-1) test does a sanity check on the (d-1) coefficients, the (d-2) test does a sanity check on the (d-2) coefficients. A lookup table for the products of the (d-1) coefficients will need to be pre-computed.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing Berlekamp-Zassenhaus implementation and its (d-1) test. Read how the (d-1) coefficient sanity check works, then identify where the pre-computed lookup table for products belongs. Done means the (d-2) test is implemented and can rule out the additional cases described in the issue.
