Refactor `binary_search_by` to use conditional moves

Refactor the if/else checking on `cmp::Ordering` variants to a "branchless" reassignment of left and right.

This change results in fewer branches and instructions.

I saw consistent benchmark improvements locally. Performance of worst case seems about the same, maybe slightly faster for the L3 test.
