Jonathan Wakely 3c21913415 libstdc++: Optimise GCD algorithms
The current std::gcd and std::chrono::duration::_S_gcd algorithms are
both recursive. This is potentially expensive to evaluate in constant
expressions, because each level of recursion makes a new copy of the
function to evaluate. The maximum number of steps is bounded
(proportional to the number of decimal digits in the smaller value) and
so unlikely to exceed the limit for constexpr nesting, but the memory
usage is still suboptimal. By using an iterative algorithm we avoid
that compile-time cost. Because looping in constexpr functions is not
allowed until C++14, we need to keep the recursive implementation in
duration::_S_gcd for C++11 mode.

For std::gcd we can also optimise runtime performance by using the
binary GCD algorithm.

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	* include/std/chrono (duration::_S_gcd): Use iterative algorithm
	for C++14 and later.
	* include/std/numeric (__detail::__gcd): Replace recursive
	Euclidean algorithm with iterative version of binary GCD algorithm.
	* testsuite/26_numerics/gcd/1.cc: Test additional inputs.
	* testsuite/26_numerics/gcd/gcd_neg.cc: Adjust dg-error lines.
	* testsuite/26_numerics/lcm/lcm_neg.cc: Likewise.
	* testsuite/experimental/numeric/gcd.cc: Test additional inputs.
	* testsuite/26_numerics/gcd/2.cc: New test.
