Adjust iteration counts so benchmarks don't run too slowly or quickly.
Ensure benchmarks take less than 10 seconds on older, slower cores and
more than 0.5 seconds on fast cores.

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

Improve the random memcpy benchmark. Double the number of tests and increase
the size of the memory region to test between 32KB and 1024KB. This improves
accuracy on modern cores. Clean up formatting of the frequency array.

This patch fixed mprotect system call failure on AArch64.
This failure happened on not only A64FX but also ThunderX2.
Also this patch updated a JSON key from "max-size" to "length" so that
'plot_strings.py' can process 'bench-memcpy-random.out'

Improve the random memcpy benchmark. Double the number of copies and
increase the memory sizes tested to 512KB. Add a more detailed
distribution of memcpy alignment and sizes up to 4096 based on SPEC2017
traces.

Improve string benchtest timing. Many tests run for 0.01s which is way too
short to give accurate results. Other tests take over 40 seconds which is
way too long. Significantly increase the iterations of the short running
tests. Reduce number of alignment variations in the long running memcpy walk
tests so they take less than 5 seconds.
As a result most tests take at least 0.1s and all finish within 5 seconds.
