math/big: make division faster

- Add new BenchmarkQuoRem.
- Eliminate allocation in divLarge nat pool
- Unroll mulAddVWW body 4x
- Remove some redundant slice loads in divLarge

name      old time/op  new time/op  delta
QuoRem-8  2.18µs ± 1%  1.93µs ± 1%  -11.38%  (p=0.000 n=19+18)

The starting point in the comparison here is Cherry's
pending CL to turn mulWW and divWW into intrinsics.
The optimizations in divLarge work best because all
the function calls are gone. The effect of this CL is not
as large if you don't assume Cherry's CL.

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.


Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
