Undo the range iterator changes (leave them for later), adjust the range

iterator test to accept the current behaviour of the fast range iterator and avoid testing the (very unsafe) long range iterator, use threading.Barrier where appropriate, and add comments to the unsafe uses of memcpy/memmove in free-threaded builds.
