XPath: Simplify sorting implementation
Instead of a complicated partitioning scheme that tries to maintain the
equal area in the middle, use a scheme where we keep the equal area in
the left part of the array and then move it to the middle.
Since generally sorted arrays don't contain many duplicates this extra
copy is not too expensive, and it significantly simplifies the logic and
maintains good complexity for sorting arrays with many equal elements
nonetheless (unlike Hoare partitioning).
Instead of a median of 9 just use a median of 3 - it performs pretty
much identically on some internal performance tests, despite having a
bit more comparisons in some cases.
Finally, change the insertion sort threshold to 16 elements since that
appears to have slightly better performance.
