Reorder things in this function.
Adding 'const' in key places to provide the compiler the extra hint
for the purpose of this computation we don't change the value and the
value never changes externally even across function calls.
I'm sure the compiler (due to macro implementation of TTMaskXxxxx() calls
and visibility of data being changes) will optimise the function in
exactly the way of the reorder.
This also should have the side-effect of making clearer more auto
vectorization possibilities to the compiler or potentially replacing the
loop with (tail-call or inline) to :
simd_TTMaskSetMask_residues(lmask, rmask, TT_TECHDEPBASE, DBNumUserLayers);
Which would be a hand optimized form, that probably has an 'l_residues'
layout that favours SIMD use (2nd order copy from source of truth just in
a different data layout, such as contiguous array of TileTypeBitMask
indexed from 0, with the TileType as the index).
