That means a superfluous cast is removed and aliasing through a uint8_t
pointer is eliminated. NB: The C standard specifies that a unsigned char
pointer may alias while the C standard doesn't include such requirement
for uint8_t pointers.
Also simplified the loop since a modern C compiler can speed up (i.e.
auto-vectorize) it in a similar way. For example, GCC auto-vectorizes it
for Haswell using AVX registers while halving the number of instructions
in the generated code.
