This brings x_divrem() back into synch with x_divrem1(), which was changed
in bpo-46406 to generate faster code to find machine-word division
quotients and remainders. Modern processors compute both with a single
machine instruction, but convincing C to exploit that requires writing
less "clever" C code.

LGTM. The macOS GitHub Actions failure looks unrelated.
