Francesco Mazzoli 5ca10480b0 avoid selecting half-packets when unnecessary
See
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59709148/ensuring-that-eigen-uses-avx-vectorization-for-a-certain-operation>
for an explanation of the problem this solves.

In short, for some reason, before this commit the half-packet is
selected when the array / matrix size is not a multiple of
`unpacket_traits<PacketType>::size`, where `PacketType` starts out
being the full Packet.

For example, for some data of 100 `float`s, `Packet4f` will be
selected rather than `Packet8f`, because 100 is not a multiple of 8,
the size of `Packet8f`.

This commit switches to selecting the half-packet if the size is
less than the packet size, which seems to make more sense.

As I stated in the SO post I'm not sure that I'm understanding the
issue correctly, but this fix resolves the issue in my program. Moreover,
`make check` passes, with the exception of line 614 and 616 in
`test/packetmath.cpp`, which however also fail on master on my machine:

    CHECK_CWISE1_IF(PacketTraits::HasBessel, numext::bessel_i0, internal::pbessel_i0);
    ...
    CHECK_CWISE1_IF(PacketTraits::HasBessel, numext::bessel_i1, internal::pbessel_i1);
