```
std.mem: expose the simpler linear functions

The new defaults that came in with
644400054c5769a397ded4f569e2ac0600d65305 are nice, however, it is still
possible that someone knows their inputs are always small and wants to
use the simpler implementations. We keep the default to make the choice
at runtime, but expose the linear functions in the public interface of
std.mem.

Also improved the doc comments.
