lib/bcd: optimize _bin2bcd() for improved performance
The original _bin2bcd() function used / 10 and % 10 operations for conversion. Although GCC optimizes these operations and does not generate division or modulus instructions, the new implementation reduces the number of mov instructions in the generated code for both x86-64 and ARM architectures. This optimization calculates the tens digit using (val * 103) >> 10, which is accurate for values of 'val' in the range [0, 178]. Given that the valid input range is [0, 99], this method ensures correctness while simplifying the generated code.
