/** readSensorsBranches ******************************************
* Read the IR line sensors and return an interpreted result.
*
* Sensors are numbered 0 - 4 starting at the left. This version
* returns a value as for readLineSensors(), but also sets isLeft
* and isRight to indicate if there is a line under sensor 0 (isLeft) and/or
* sensor 4 (isRight). If either isLeft or isRight is true then the value returned
* shouldn't be trusted for steering since
*
* @modifies isLeft is true if and only if there is a line detected directly
* under the left sensor (0)
* isRight is true if and only if there is a line detected directly
* under the right sensor (4)
* @returns if !(isLeft || isRight) then the value can be interpreted as follows:
* 0 -- line sensed under leftmost sensor (0) only
* or no line detected
* 1 - 999 -- line sensed under left two sensors (0 and 1)
* 1000 - 1999 -- line sensed under sensors 1 and 2
* 2000 -- line sensed under sensors 1, 2 and 3
* 2001 - 2999 -- line sensed under sensors 2 and 3
* 3000 - 3999 -- line sensed under sensors 3 and 4
* 4000 -- line sensed under rightmost sensor (4) only
