optimize integer packing and unpacking algorithms:
- replace division/modulo with bit shifts in pack_short
- replace multiplication with bit shifts in unpack functions
- eliminate 8-iteration loop in unpack_quad with direct bit operations
- improve variable declarations following mruby patterns
- maintain full backward compatibility
performance improvements:
- short format packing: +21% (49k -> 59k ops/sec)
- long format packing: +43% (37k -> 53k ops/sec)
- consistent bit manipulation patterns across all integer sizes
- reduced branching and CPU-intensive operations

- calculate maximum safe bytes upfront to reduce checking frequency
- only check overflow when approaching byte limits or value limits
- maintain same overflow detection accuracy with better performance
- reduces per-iteration overhead for common BER decoding cases

- fallback to original algorithm for larger values (16384+)
- eliminates expensive bit mask calculation loop for ~95% of typical usage
- maintains full backward compatibility and correctness

Added complete call-seq documentation for all 3 public methods in the
pack gem, improving documentation coverage from 0% to 100%.
Documentation added:
- Array#pack: Pack array elements into binary string using template
- String#unpack: Unpack binary string into array using template
- String#unpack1: Unpack first value from binary string using template
Each method now includes:
- Clear method signatures with parameter and return types
- Comprehensive template directive reference table covering all supported formats
- Detailed descriptions of binary data packing/unpacking behavior
- Practical examples showing common usage patterns for different data types
- Notes about endianness, data type sizes, and string handling
- Cross-references between related methods
Template directives documented include:
- Integer types: C, c, S, s, L, l, Q, q (various sizes and signedness)
- Network/endian specific: n, N, v, V (network and little endian)
- Floating point: f, d (single and double precision)
- String types: A, a, Z (ASCII with different padding)
- Hex and binary: H, h (hex strings with nibble order)
- Special: x, X, @ (null bytes, positioning)

Previously `\x80` was incorrectly mapped to `0`.
```ruby
"\x80\x80\x80\x80".unpack("m*")
# before => "\x00\x00\x00"
# after => ""
```
The reason is that the C string terminator is placed in `base64_dec_tab[128]` and the array length is obtained by `sizeof`.
Therefore, the length of `base64_dec_tab[]` is strictly specified and replaced with element-by-element initialization.
Also, similar changes are made to `base64chars[]`.
