I cleaned this up a bit according to ideas in my previous mails, and
added a comment about the confusing use of __bswap64_const() (now
named __bswap64_gen()) in __bswap64_var():

This passes simple tests, but I had to restore some messes for clang
that I originally left out to get clang to optimize __bswap64()
like it did before for the `var' case.  clang apparently only
understands the general expression for __bswapN() up to N = 32.
