Matthew Dempsky 4662029264 runtime: simplify divmagic for span calculations
It's both simpler and faster to just unconditionally do two 32-bit
multiplies rather than a bunch of branching to try to avoid them.
This is safe thanks to the tight bounds derived in [1] and verified
during mksizeclasses.go.

Benchstat results below for compilebench benchmarks on my P920. See
also [2] for micro benchmarks comparing the new functions against the
originals (as well as several basic attempts at optimizing them).
