    1. Combined the base and length arrays into a single array of structs. · e05f65a0

       This is friendlier for caches.
    
    2. Cut MIN_GALLOP to 7, but added a per-sort min_gallop vrbl that adapts
       the "get into galloping mode" threshold higher when galloping isn't
       paying, and lower when it is.  There's no known case where this hurts.
       It's (of course) neutral for /sort, \sort and =sort.  It also happens
       to be neutral for !sort.  It cuts a tiny # of compares in 3sort and +sort.
       For *sort, it reduces the # of compares to better than what this used to
       do when MIN_GALLOP was hardcoded to 10 (it did about 0.1% more *sort
       compares before, but given how close we are to the limit, this is "a
       lot"!).  %sort used to do about 1.5% more compares, and ~sort about
       3.6% more.  Here are exact counts:
