lib/bsearch.c: micro-optimize pivot position calculation
There is a slightly faster way (in terms of the number of instructions
being used) to calculate the position of a middle element, preserving
integer overflow safeness.
./scripts/bloat-o-meter lib/bsearch.o.old lib/bsearch.o.new
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-24 (-24)
function old new delta
bsearch 122 98 -24
TEST
INT array of size 100001, elements [0..100000]. gcc 7.1, Os, x86_64.
