lib/GCD.c: use binary GCD algorithm instead of Euclidean

The binary GCD algorithm is based on the following facts:
	1. If a and b are all evens, then gcd(a,b) = 2 * gcd(a/2, b/2)
	2. If a is even and b is odd, then gcd(a,b) = gcd(a/2, b)
	3. If a and b are all odds, then gcd(a,b) = gcd((a-b)/2, b) = gcd((a+b)/2, b)

Even on x86 machines with reasonable division hardware, the binary
algorithm runs about 25% faster (80% the execution time) than the
division-based Euclidian algorithm.

On platforms like Alpha and ARMv6 where division is a function call to
emulation code, it's even more significant.

There are two variants of the code here, depending on whether a fast
__ffs (find least significant set bit) instruction is available.  This
allows the unpredictable branches in the bit-at-a-time shifting loop to
be eliminated.

If fast __ffs is not available, the "even/odd" GCD variant is used.

I use the following code to benchmark:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <stdint.h>
	#include <string.h>
	#include <time.h>

	{
		unsigned long r;

		if (a < b) {
			swap(a, b);
		}

		if (b == 0)
			return a;

		while ((r = a % b) != 0) {
			a = b;
			b = r;
		}

		return b;
	}

				return a << __builtin_ctzl(r);

	}
