1. Refactor files so that all implementations are in the multiarch
directory
- Moved the implementation portion of memset sse2 from memset.S to
multiarch/memset-sse2.S
- The non-multiarch file now only includes one of the
implementations in the multiarch directory based on the compiled
ISA level (only used for non-multiarch builds. Otherwise we go
through the ifunc selector).
2. Add ISA level build guards to different implementations.
- I.e memset-avx2-unaligned-erms.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 (memset-evex-unaligned-erms.S).
3. Add new multiarch/rtld-memset.S that just include the
non-multiarch memset.S which will in turn select the best
implementation based on the compiled ISA level.
4. 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.
Both symbols are marked as legacy in POSIX.1-2001 and removed on
POSIX.1-2008, although the prototypes are defined for _GNU_SOURCE
or _DEFAULT_SOURCE.
GCC also replaces bcopy with a memmove and bzero with memset on default
configuration (to actually get a bzero libc call the code requires
to omit string.h inclusion and built with -fno-builtin), so it is
highly unlikely programs are actually calling libc bzero symbol.
On a recent Linux distro (Ubuntu 22.04), there is no bzero calls
by the installed binaries.

x86-64: Optimize bzero
added the optimized bzero. Remove bzero weak alias in SS2 memset to
avoid undefined __bzero in memset-sse2-unaligned-erms.
memset with zero as the value to set is by far the majority value (99%+
for Python3 and GCC).
bzero can be slightly more optimized for this case by using a zero-idiom
xor for broadcasting the set value to a register (vector or GPR).

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.

There is no need to include <init-arch.h> in assembly codes since all
x86 IFUNC selector functions are written in C. Tested on i686 and
x86-64. There is no code change in libc.so, ld.so and libmvec.so.

<init-arch.h>.

Implement memset family IFUNC selectors in C.
All internal calls within libc.so can use IFUNC on x86-64 since unlike
x86, x86-64 supports PC-relative addressing to access the GOT entry so
that it can call via PLT without using an extra register. For libc.a,
we can't use IFUNC for functions which are called before IFUNC has been
initialized. Use IFUNC internally reduces the icache footprint since
libc.so and other codes in the process use the same implementations.
This patch uses IFUNC for memset functions within libc.

Since the new SSE2/AVX2 memsets are faster than the previous ones, we
can remove the previous SSE2/AVX2 memsets and replace them with the
new ones. This reduces the size of libc.so by about 900 bytes.
No change in IFUNC selection if SSE2 and AVX2 memsets weren't used
before. If SSE2 or AVX2 memset was used, the new SSE2 or AVX2 memset
optimized with Enhanced REP STOSB will be used for processors with
ERMS. The new AVX512 memset will be used for processors with AVX512
which prefer vzeroupper.

Implement x86-64 memset with unaligned store and rep movsb. Support
16-byte, 32-byte and 64-byte vector register sizes. A single file
provides 2 implementations of memset, one with rep stosb and the other
without rep stosb. They share the same codes when size is between 2
times of vector register size and REP_STOSB_THRESHOLD which defaults
to 2KB.
Key features:
1. Use overlapping store to avoid branch.
2. For size <= 4 times of vector register size, fully unroll the loop.
3. For size > 4 times of vector register size, store 4 times of vector
register size at a time.
