__wcscmp_avx2.

x86: Fix __wcsncmp_avx2 in strcmp-avx2.S [BZ# 28755]
Set the wrong fallback function for `__wcsncmp_avx2_rtm`. It was set
to fallback on to `__wcscmp_avx2` instead of `__wcscmp_avx2_rtm` which
can cause spurious aborts.
This change will need to be backported.
All string/memory tests pass.

Previously TEST_NAME was passing a function pointer. This didn't fail
because of the -Wno-error flag (to allow for overflow sizes passed
to strncmp/wcsncmp)

In the overflow fallback strncmp-avx2-rtm and wcsncmp-avx2-rtm would
call strcmp-avx2 and wcscmp-avx2 respectively. This would have
not checks around vzeroupper and would trigger spurious
aborts. This commit fixes that.
test-strcmp, test-strncmp, test-wcscmp, and test-wcsncmp all pass on
AVX2 machines with and without RTM.

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.

At function exit, AVX optimized string/memory functions have VZEROUPPER
which triggers RTM abort. When such functions are called inside a
transactionally executing RTM region, RTM abort causes severe performance
degradation. Add tests to verify that string/memory functions won't
cause RTM abort in RTM region.
