of a constant had a minor typo introduced when copying it from the book, which
caused it to favor negative approximations over positive approximations in many
cases. Positive approximations require fewer operations beyond the multiplication.
In the case of division by 3, we still generate code that is a single instruction
larger than GCC's code.

This happens all the time when a smul is promoted to a larger type.
On x86-64 we now compile "int test(int x) { return x/10; }" into
movslq %edi, %rax
imulq $1717986919, %rax, %rax
movq %rax, %rcx
shrq $63, %rcx
sarq $34, %rax <- used to be "shrq $32, %rax; sarl $2, %eax"
addl %ecx, %eax
This fires 96 times in gcc.c on x86-64.

the shift type was needed one place, the shift count
type another. The transform in 123555 had the same
problem.

count operand. These should be the same but apparently are
not always, and this is cleaner anyway. This improves the
code in an existing test.
