vector: Timsort all of the things
Drop the GLibc implementation of Merge Sort and replace it with Timsort.
The algorithm has been tuned to work on arrays of pointers (void **),
so there's no longer a need to abstract the byte-width of each element
in the array.
All the comparison callbacks now take pointers-to-elements, not
pointers-to-pointers, so there's now one less level of dereferencing.
E.g.
int index_cmp(const void *a, const void *b)
{
- const git_index_entry *entry_a = *(const git_index_entry **)(a);
+ const git_index_entry *entry_a = (const git_index_entry *)(a);
The result is up to a 40% speed-up when sorting vectors. Memory usage
remains lineal.
A new `bsearch` implementation has been added, whose callback also
supplies pointer-to-elements, to uniform the Vector API again.
