David R. Jenni fd37b8ccf2 sort: optimize average calculation in binary search
Use fewer instructions to calculate the average of i and j without
overflowing at the addition.

Even if both i and j are math.MaxInt{32,64}, the sum fits into a
uint{32,64}. Because the sum of i and j is always ≥ 0, the right
shift by one does the same as a division by two. The result of the
shift operation is at most math.MaxInt{32,64} and fits again into
an int{32,64}.

name              old time/op  new time/op  delta
SearchWrappers-4   153ns ± 3%   143ns ± 6%  -6.33%  (p=0.000 n=90+100)

This calculation is documented in:
