Small sizes (<= 64) represent large portion of memset usages with zero
value. Add sizes (<= 64) to bench-bzero-walk.c to cover small sizes.

memset with zero as the value to set is by far the majority value (99%+
for Python3 and GCC). Add bench-memset-zero-large.c,
bench-memset-zero-walk.c and bench-memset-zero.c to measure memset
implementations for zeroing.

Zero is a relevant size for some workloads (roughly 5% of uses for
GCC) so we should be testing it's performance as well.

Add more small and medium sized tests for strcmp and strncmp.
As well for strcmp add option for more direct control of
alignment. Previously alignment was being pushed to the end of the
page. While this is the most difficult case to implement, it is far
from the common case and so shouldn't be the only benchmark.

This commit adds more benchmarks for the common memcpy/memmove
benchmarks. The most signifcant cases are the half page offsets. The
current versions leaves dst and src near page aligned which leads to
false 4k aliasing on x86_64. This can add noise due to false
dependencies from one run to the next. As well, this seems like more
of an edge case that common case so it shouldn't be the only thing

Add acosf function to bench-math and copy acosf-inputs to benchtests.
Motivation for this patch is to prepare for upcoming libmvec new
functions. Float and double version of libmvec functions stays
together.
acosf-inputs file generated from acos-inputs file using following
scaling formula:
f = d * (FLT_MAX/DBL_MAX)
Where d is input(double) and f is output(float). If scaled float value
is duplicate in new input file, nextafterf() function used to find next

Building benchmarks as static executables:

To build benchmarks as static executables, on the build system, run:
$ make STATIC-BENCHTESTS=yes bench-build
You can copy benchmark executables to another machine and run them
without copying the source nor build directories.
No bug. Remove reallocation of bufs between implementation tests. Move
initialization outside of foreach implementation test loop. Increase
