ChunkedBitSet goes out of its way to check in advance whether a union/subtract/intersect operation would actually modify any bits, to avoid calling Rc::make_mut if possible.

But in the case where the Rc is already unique (i.e. Rc::get_mut succeeds), it's cheaper to skip the would-change check entirely, and just modify the words eagerly.


This PR also adds some more thorough tests for ChunkedBitSet's union/subtract/intersect methods, which would have pinpointed a serious bug in the previous PR.

Let's try benchmarking a version of this change that doesn't accidentally skip all the important work:

Overall result: ❌✅ regressions and improvements - please read the text below

Benchmarking this pull request means it may be perf-sensitive – we'll automatically label it not fit for rolling up. You can override this, but we strongly advise not to, due to possible changes in compiler perf.

Next Steps: If you can justify the regressions found in this try perf run, please do so in sufficient writing along with @rustbot label: +perf-regression-triaged. If not, please fix the regressions and do another perf run. If its results are neutral or positive, the label will be automatically removed.

Oh, that's disappointing. Perhaps the vectorized equality test is actually faster than an unconditional update, on average.
