Build a typed sort function for the mergesort performance test tool
using DEFINE_LIST_SORT instead of calling llist_mergesort(). This gets
rid of the next pointer accessor functions and improves the performance
at the cost of a slightly higher object text size.
Before:
0071.12: llist_mergesort() unsorted 0.24(0.22+0.01)
0071.14: llist_mergesort() sorted 0.12(0.10+0.01)
0071.16: llist_mergesort() reversed 0.12(0.10+0.01)
__TEXT __DATA __OBJC others dec hex

With this patch:
0071.12: DEFINE_LIST_SORT unsorted 0.22(0.21+0.01)
0071.14: DEFINE_LIST_SORT sorted 0.11(0.10+0.01)
0071.16: DEFINE_LIST_SORT reversed 0.11(0.10+0.01)
