fixedsync.mdwn: change sync from v3.1B version to v3.0B version

to use the v3.1B version requires fixing fields.text to use the new
L and SC fields, which requires deciphering all the places where the
current L (named L2) field is used and making sure they'll be correct still.

using the old interpretation of sync should be correct, but less optimal,

bug #672: pospopcount working with large arrays

pospopcount is supposed to be able to handle long arrays of data,
but it turns out that sv.lbzu/pi/dw=8 was calculating an EA in 8-bit,
meaning that it wrapped around to a zero memory address.
now this is resolved the code which has been made shorter actually works

bug #672: pospopcount using sv.lbzu/pi/dw=8 error

COMPLEX! this turns out to be a spec violation where RA (EA)
*must* be treated as 64-bit *NOT* have its width overridden
just because destination elwidth is set to 8-bit.
* source elwidth is supposed to apply to STORE
* dest elwidth is supposed to apply to LOAD
but those are MEMORY DATA not memory ADDRESSes they are
supposed to apply to.

TODO, most likely LDST_IDX needs fixing (RB may also need
an elwidth cancellation/override, have to check the spec)
