/**
* Upper bound search algorithm.
* Upper bound is kind of binary search algorithm but:
* -It returns index of first element which is grater than searched value.
* -If searched element is bigger than any array element function returns first index after last element.
* Behaviour for unsorted arrays is unspecified.
* Complexity O(log n).
