Evaluate a polynomial (in evaluation form) at an arbitrary point ``z`` that is not in the domain.
Uses the barycentric formula:
Evaluate a polynomial (in evaluation form) at an arbitrary point ``z``.
- When ``z`` is in the domain, the evaluation can be found by indexing the polynomial at the
position that ``z`` is in the domain.
- When ``z`` is not in the domain, the barycentric formula is used:
f(z) = (z**WIDTH - 1) / WIDTH * sum_(i=0)^WIDTH (f(DOMAIN[i]) * DOMAIN[i]) / (z - DOMAIN[i])
