lib min_heap: optimize min heap by prescaling counters for better performance

Browse source

Improve the efficiency of the min heap by prescaling counters, eliminating
the need to repeatedly compute 'index * element_size' when accessing
elements.  By doing so, we avoid the overhead associated with
recalculating the byte offset for each heap operation.

However, with prescaling, the calculation for the parent element's
location is no longer as simple as '(i - 1) / 2'.  To address this, we
copy the parent function from 'lib/sort.c', which calculates the parent
offset in a branchless manner without using any division instructions.

This optimization should result in a more efficient heap implementation by
reducing the computational overhead of finding parent and child offsets.
