  Issue #5512: speed up the long division algorithm for Python longs.
  The basic algorithm remains the same; the most significant speedups
  come from the following three changes:

    (1) normalize by shifting instead of multiplying and dividing
    (2) the old algorithm usually did an unnecessary extra iteration of
        the outer loop; remove this.  As a special case, this means that
        long divisions with a single-digit result run twice as fast as
        before.
    (3) make inner loop much tighter.

  Various benchmarks show speedups of between 50% and 150% for long
  integer divisions and modulo operations.
