in Objects/longobject.c.  Motivation:
 - shouldn't unnecessarily mix bit ops with arithmetic ops (style)
 - this pattern should be spelt the same way thoughout (consistency)
 - it's very very very slightly faster: no need to worry about

A missing 'const' wasn't detected by Visual Studio.

The debug memory api now keeps track of which external API (PyMem_* or PyObject_*) was used to allocate each block and treats any API violation as an error.  Added separate _PyMem_DebugMalloc functions for the Py_Mem API instead of having it use the _PyObject_DebugMalloc functions.

A memory block allocated with one API was being handed over to an object that used another API to release it.

Closes issue 6606.
