Make git__strntol64() ~70%* faster
This change uses compiler intrinsics to detect overflows instead of using divisions to detect potential overflow. This makes the code faster and makes it easier to read as a bonus side-effect! Some of the things this quickens: * Config parsing. * Tree parsing. * Smart protocol negotiation. \* Measured by running `libgit2_clar` with `-fno-optimize-sibling-calls -fno-omit-frame-pointer` under `perf(1)`: ```shell $ perf diff --symbols=git__strntol64 --compute=ratio \ --percentage=absolute baseline.data perf.data \# Event 'cycles' \# \# Baseline Ratio Shared Object \# ........ .............. ............. \# 0.25% 0.321836 libgit2_clar ```
