This reverts commit 0c99ba1eab63865592bb084feb271cd4e4b0357e, reversing
changes made to 5f92b070bf284f1493b1b5d433dd3adde2f46727.
This caused a CI failure when it landed in master branch due to a
128-bit `@byteSwap` in std.mem.
This makes it so `first_child_index` will not be accessed when it is equal to `self.len`. (i.e. `self.items[self.len]` will not happen) The access itself was "safe" (as in, `self.len < self.items.len`) because we were only calling `doSiftDown` in the case where there was a stale value at `self.items[self.len]`. However, it is still technically a bug, and can manifest by an unnecessary comparison of a value to a copy of itself.
LLVM has trouble compiling the old implementation, (presumably) because `leading_zeros` is thought to be a `u7` rather than a `u6`, which means `63 - clz` is not equivalent to `63 ^ clz`, which means it can't deduce that the final condition can simply be flipped. (I am assuming `usize` is a `u64` here for ease of understanding, but it's the same for any power of 2)

The new version is slightly better too because `isMinLayer(maxInt(usize))` is now well-defined behavior.
These changes have been made to resolve issue #10037. The `Random`
interface was implemented in such a way that causes significant slowdown
when calling the `fill` function of the rng used.
The `Random` interface is no longer stored in a field of the rng, and is
instead returned by the child function `random()` of the rng. This
avoids the performance issues caused by the interface.
We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We
no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single
file.
Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of
Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with
their own license that required annual payments to their company.
However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to
reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.
