The only link that I did not change is a link to a function on the
`pointer` primitive because intra-doc links for the `pointer` primitive
don't work yet (see #63351).
Previously checking for `pmoda == 0` would get LLVM to generate branchy
code, when, for `stride = 1` the offset can be computed without such a
branch by doing effectively a `-p % a`.
For well-known (constant) alignments, with the new ordering of these
conditionals, we end up generating 2 to 3 cheap instructions on x86_64:
movq %rdi, %rax
negl %eax
andl $7, %eax
instead of 5+ as previously.
For unknown alignments the new code also generates just 3 instructions:
negq %rdi
leaq -1(%rsi), %rax
andq %rdi, %rax
At opt-level <= 1, the methods such as `wrapping_mul` are not being
inlined, causing significant bloating and slowdowns of the
implementation at these optimisation levels.
With use of these intrinsics, the codegen of this function at
-Copt_level=1 is the same as it is at -Copt_level=3.
