Title: #5270: Change int/uint range_rev to use (hi,lo] instead of [hi,lo).

r? anyone.

Changes int/uint range_rev to iterate over range `(hi,lo]` instead of `[hi,lo)`.

Fix #5270.

Also:
* Adds unit tests for int/uint range functions
* Updates the uses of `range_rev` to account for the new semantics. (Note that pretty much all of the updates there were strict improvements to the code in question; yay!)
* Exposes new function, `range_step_inclusive`, which does the range `[hi,lo]`, (at least when `hi-lo` is a multiple of the `step` parameter).
* Special-cases when `|step| == 1` removing unnecessary bounds-check. (I did not check whether LLVM was already performing this optimization; I figure it would be a net win to not leave that analysis to the compiler. If reviewer objects, I can easily remove that from the refactored code.)
