MIRI says `reverse` is UB, so replace it with something LLVM can vectorize

For small types with padding, the current implementation is UB because it does integer operations on uninit values.
```
error: Undefined Behavior: using uninitialized data, but this operation requires initialized memory

But LLVM has gotten smarter since I wrote the previous implementation in 2017, so this PR removes all the manual magic and just writes it in such a way that LLVM will vectorize.  This code is much simpler and has very little `unsafe`, and is actually faster to boot!
