[fpc-pascal] Happy tickets benchmark

[Vojtěch Čihák]

I can confirm, Inc(); is slower. Change decreased time from 440 to 390 ms.
 
Quick test (empty project in Laz.):
unit1.pas:35                              inc(TicketsCount);
000000000046DB18 4883c001                 add    $0x1,%rax
unit1.pas:36                              TicketsCount+=1;
000000000046DB1C 488d4001                 lea    0x1(%rax),%rax
unit1.pas:37                              TicketsCount:=TicketsCount+1;
000000000046DB20 488d5801                 lea    0x1(%rax),%rbx

On my PC with Windows 8.1, fpc 2.6.4 32bits, when I changed the line:
inc(TicketsCount);
to:
TicketsCount := TicketsCount + 1;

the results improved from:
C:\tmp\tests>HappyTickets.exe
Found 4816030 tickets. Elapsed time, msec: 323

to

C:\tmp\tests>HappyTickets.exe
Found 4816030 tickets. Elapsed time, msec: 262
