David R. Jenni 78e6abd244 sort: optimize average calculation in symMerge and doPivot.
Change code of the form `i + (j-i)/2` to `int(uint(i+j) >> 1)`.

The optimized average calculation uses fewer instructions to calculate
the average without overflowing at the addition.

Analogous to https://golang.org/cl/36332.
