Done.

OK, that's clear. And many more commits have gone in since beginning of
December 2017. All this is too fresh to go into the release that everyone
is waiting for.

I'm going to put the following into the release branch:
all commits <= 16183
16185..16209
16211..16212
16214..16215
16219..16222
16224..16226
16229
16231
16234
16236
16238..16240
16242..16243
16245..16252
16254
16261
16264..16267
and the remaining asm fixes.

This can wait for 2.51.

I don't like to roll back on the branch (because that makes "hg annotate"
results harder to understand). Instead, I'm picking a branch point and
cherry-picking from the main branch.
