A common mistake when writing binary search is to allow possible
integer overflow by using the simple average:
mid = (min + max) / 2;
Instead, use the overflow-safe version:
mid = min + (max - min) / 2;
This translation is safe since the operation occurs inside a loop
conditioned on "min < max". The included changes were found using
the following git grep:
git grep '/ *2;' '*.c'
Making this cleanup will prevent future review friction when a new
binary search is contructed based on existing code.
