Change a few ORs to additions where they don't matter. This helps the compiler
use the LEA instruction more efficiently, since e.g. a + (b << 2) can be encoded
as one instruction. Even more importantly, it can constant-fold the
COPY_* enums together with the shifted negative constants, which also saves
some instructions. (We don't need it for LITERAL, since it happens to be 0.)
I am unsure why the compiler couldn't do this itself, but the theory is that
it cannot prove that len-1 and len-4 cannot underflow/wrap, and thus can't
do the optimization safely.
The gains are small but measurable; 0.5-1.0% over the BM_Z* benchmarks
(measured on Westmere, Sandy Bridge and Istanbul).
