src/port/snprintf.c: Optimize the common base=10 case in fmtint

fmtint() turns an integer into a string for a given base, and to do this
it does a divide/modulo operation iteratively.

On just about any CPU, divides are a pretty expensive operation, generally
10x to 20x or more expensive than adds or multiplies.

By special casing the super common case of base==10, the (gcc) compiler can (and will)
replace the divide by a multiply with 0xcccccccccccccccd, yielding a lot faster code.
(fmtint dropped drastically in the perf profiles after this change)

Even though this only shows up in the database creation phase of pgbench and not so much
during the normal run time, the optimization is simple and high value enough that
in my opinion it's worth doing
