cleanup: fix possible overflow errors in binary search
A common mistake when writing binary search is to allow possible integer overflow by using the simple average: mid = (min + max) / 2; Instead, use the overflow-safe version: mid = min + (max - min) / 2; This translation is safe since the operation occurs inside a loop conditioned on "min < max". The included changes were found using the following git grep: git grep '/ *2;' '*.c' Making this cleanup will prevent future review friction when a new binary search is contructed based on existing code.
