    libstdc++: Simplify year::is_leap()
    
    The current implementation returns
        (_M_y & (__is_multiple_of_100 ? 15 : 3)) == 0;
    where __is_multiple_of_100 is calculated using an obfuscated algorithm which
    saves one ror instruction when compared to _M_y % 100 == 0 [1].
    
    In leap years calculation, it's correct to replace the divisibility check by
    100 with the one by 25. It turns out that _M_y % 25 == 0 also saves the ror
    instruction [2]. Therefore, the obfuscation is not required.
