Frob numeric.c loop so that clang will auto-vectorize it too.
Experimentation shows that clang will auto-vectorize the critical
multiplication loop if the termination condition is written "i2 < limit"
rather than "i2 <= limit". This seems unbelievably stupid, but I've
reproduced it on both clang 9.0.1 (RHEL8) and 11.0.3 (macOS Catalina).
gcc doesn't care, so tweak the code to do it that way.
