qsort: hard-preclude oob array writes independent of any invariants

while the root cause of CVE-2026-40200 was a faulty ctz primitive, the
fallout of the bug would have been limited to erroneous sorting or
infinite loop if not for the stores to a stack-based array that
depended on trusting invariants in order not to go out of bounds.

increase the size of the array to a power of two so that we can mask
indices into it to force them into range. in the absence of any
further bug, the masking is a no-op, but it does not have any
measurable performance cost, and it makes spatial memory safety
trivial to prove (and for readers not familiar with the algorithms to
trust).
