BOLT 3: fix definition of flip(B) in P. (#779)

It turns out everyone does `P[B / 8] ^= (1 << (P % 8))`,
which is not what the spec says to do (it implies you
would treat P as a bitstring numbered 255 to 0).

Where "flip(B)" alternates the B'th least significant bit in the value P.
Where "flip(B)" alternates the (B mod 8) bit of the (B div 8)
byte of the value. So, "flip(0) in e3b0..." is "e2b0...", and
"flip(10) in "e3b0..." is "e3b4...".
