Sokolov Yura 6f6b2f04b5 sort: improve average quicksort performance
- change way of protection from O(N^2) on duplicate values.
  Previous algorithm does additional comparisons and swaps
  on every split pass.
  Changed algorithm does one ordinal quicksort split pass,
  and if distribution is skewed, then additional pass to
  separate pivot's duplicates.
  Changed algorithm could be slower on very ununique slice,
  but it is still protected from O(N^2).

- increase small slice size and do simple shell sort pass
  to amortize worst case on small slices.
  Small slice has higher probability to have skewed
  distribution, so lets sort it with simpler algorithm.

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

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.
