/*
    essential -- return a cover consisting of the cubes of F which are
    essential prime implicants (with respect to F u D); Further, remove
    these cubes from the ON-set F, and add them to the OFF-set D.

    Sometimes EXPAND can determine that a cube is not an essential prime.
    If so, it will set the "NONESSEN" flag in the cube.

    We count on IRREDUNDANT to have set the flag RELESSEN to indicate
    that a prime was relatively essential (i.e., covers some minterm
    not contained in any other prime in the current cover), or to have
    reset the flag to indicate that a prime was relatively redundant
    (i.e., all minterms covered by other primes in the current cover).
    Of course, after executing irredundant, all of the primes in the
    cover are relatively essential, but we can mark the primes which
    were redundant at the start of irredundant and avoid an extra check
    on these primes for essentiality.
