No bug. This commit optimizes strchr-avx2.S. The optimizations are all
small things such as save an ALU in the alignment process, saving a
few instructions in the loop return, saving some bytes in the main
loop, and increasing the ILP in the return cases. test-strchr,
test-strchrnul, test-wcschr, and test-wcschrnul are all passing.

at function exit on processors with usable RTM, but without 256-bit EVEX
instructions to avoid VZEROUPPER inside a transactionally executing RTM
region.
No bug. Just seemed the performance could be improved a bit. Observed
and expected behavior are unchanged. Optimized body of main
loop. Updated page cross logic and optimized accordingly. Made a few
minor instruction selection modifications. No regressions in test
suite. Both test-strchrnul and test-strchr passed.
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 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
Optimize strchr/strchrnul/wcschr with AVX2 to search 32 bytes with vector
instructions. It is as fast as SSE2 versions for size <= 16 bytes and up
to 1X faster for or size > 16 bytes on Haswell. Select AVX2 version on
AVX2 machines where vzeroupper is preferred and AVX unaligned load is fast.
NB: It uses TZCNT instead of BSF since TZCNT produces the same result
as BSF for non-zero input. TZCNT is faster than BSF and is executed
as BSF if machine doesn't support TZCNT.
