Add `optimize_for_size` variants for stable and unstable sort as well as select_nth_unstable - Stable sort uses a simple merge-sort that re-uses the existing - rather gnarly - merge function. - Unstable sort jumps directly to the branchless heapsort fallback. - select_nth_unstable jumps directly to the median_of_medians fallback, which is augmented with a custom tiny smallsort and partition impl. Some code is duplicated but de-duplication would bring it's own problems. For example `swap_if_less` is critical for performance, if the sorting networks don't inline it perf drops drastically, however `#[inline(always)]` is also a poor fit, if the provided comparison function is huge, it gives the compiler an out to only instantiate `swap_if_less` once and call it. Another aspect that would suffer when making `swap_if_less` pub, is having to cfg out dozens of functions in in smallsort module.
