1. Add default ISA level selection in non-multiarch/rtld
implementations.
2. Add ISA level build guards to different implementations.
- I.e strcmp-avx2.S which is ISA level 3 will only build if
compiled ISA level <= 3. Otherwise there is no reason to
include it as we will always use one of the ISA level 4
implementations (strcmp-evex.S).
3. Refactor the ifunc selector and ifunc implementation list to use
the ISA level aware wrapper macros that allow functions below the
compiled ISA level (with a guranteed replacement) to be skipped.
Tested with and without multiarch on x86_64 for ISA levels:
{generic, x86-64-v2, x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4}
And m32 with and without multiarch.
This commit doesn't affect libc.so.6, its just housekeeping to prepare
for adding explicit ISA level support.
Tested build on x86_64 and x86_32 with/without multiarch.
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.

We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.
Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.
The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

Optimize x86-64 strcmp/wcscmp and strncmp/wcsncmp with AVX2. It uses vector
comparison as much as possible. Peak performance observed on a SkyLake
machine: 9x, 3x, 2.5x and 5.5x for strcmp, strncmp, wcscmp and wcsncmp,
respectively. The larger the comparison length, the more benefit using
avx2 functions, except on the strcmp, where peak is observed at length
== 32 bytes. Select AVX2 strcmp/wcscmp 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.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/Makefile (sysdep_routines): Add
strcmp-avx2, strncmp-avx2, wcscmp-avx2, wcscmp-sse2, wcsncmp-avx2 and
wcsncmp-sse2.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
(__libc_ifunc_impl_list): Add tests for __strcmp_avx2,
__strncmp_avx2, __wcscmp_avx2, __wcsncmp_avx2, __wcscmp_sse2
and __wcsncmp_sse2.

AVX unaligned load is fast and vzeroupper is preferred.

regcomp brings in references to wcscoll, which isn't in all the
standards that contain regcomp. In turn, wcscoll brings in references
to wcscmp, also not in all those standards. This patch fixes this by
making those functions into weak aliases of __wcscoll and __wcscmp and
calling those names instead as needed.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that disassembly of
installed shared libraries is unchanged by the patch).
