Use the observation that one loop is sufficient to compute the average
of an array of values and their variance to eliminate one of the loops
from get_typical_interval().

While at it, make get_typical_interval() consistently use u64 as the
64-bit unsigned integer data type and rearrange some white space and the
declarations of local variables in it (to make them follow the reverse
X-mas tree pattern).

No intentional functional impact.
