The new code:
1. prioritizes smaller user-arg lengths more.
2. optimizes target placement more carefully
3. reuses logic more
4. fixes up various inefficiencies in the logic. The biggest
case here is the `lzcnt` logic for checking returns which
saves either a branch or multiple instructions.
The total code size saving is: 306 bytes
Geometric Mean of all benchmarks New / Old: 0.760
Regressions:
There are some regressions. Particularly where the length (user arg
length) is large but the position of the match char is near the
beginning of the string (in first VEC). This case has roughly a
10-20% regression.
This is because the new logic gives the hot path for immediate matches
to shorter lengths (the more common input). This case has roughly
a 15-45% speedup.
Full xcheck passes on x86_64.

Regressions:
1. The page cross case is now colder, especially re-entry from the
page cross case if a match is not found in the first VEC
(roughly 50%). My general opinion with this patch is this is
acceptable given the "coldness" of this case (less than 4%) and
generally performance improvement in the other far more common
cases.
2. There are some regressions 5-15% for medium/large user-arg
lengths that have a match in the first VEC. This is because the
logic was rewritten to optimize finds in the first VEC if the
user-arg length is shorter (where we see roughly 20-50%
performance improvements). It is not always the case this is a
regression. My intuition is some frontend quirk is partially
explaining the data although I haven't been able to find the
root cause.

Add a second iteration for memrchr to set `pos` starting from the end
of the buffer.
Previously `pos` was only set relative to the beginning of the
buffer. This isn't really useful for memrchr because the beginning
of the search space is (buf + len).

The RTM vzeroupper mitigation has no way of replacing inline
vzeroupper not before a return.
This can be useful when hoisting a vzeroupper to save code size
for example:
```
L(foo):
cmpl %eax, %edx
jz L(bar)
tzcntl %eax, %eax
addq %rdi, %rax
VZEROUPPER_RETURN
L(bar):
xorl %eax, %eax
VZEROUPPER_RETURN
```
Can become:
```
L(foo):
COND_VZEROUPPER
cmpl %eax, %edx
jz L(bar)
tzcntl %eax, %eax
addq %rdi, %rax
ret
L(bar):
xorl %eax, %eax
ret
```

__strncpy_power9 initializes VR 18 with zeroes to be used throughout the
code, including when zero-padding the destination string. However, the
v18 reference was mistakenly being used for stxv and stxvl, which take a
VSX vector as operand. The code ended up using the uninitialized VSR 18
register by mistake.
Both occurrences have been changed to use the proper VSX number for VR 18
(i.e. VSR 50).
Tested on powerpc, powerpc64 and powerpc64le.

Add an initial SVE memcpy implementation. Copies up to 32 bytes use SVE
vectors which improves the random memcpy benchmark significantly.
Cleanup the memcpy and memmove ifunc selectors.
Adding a 512-bit EVEX version of strstr. The algorithm works as follows:
(1) We spend a few cycles at the begining to peek into the needle. We
locate an edge in the needle (first occurance of 2 consequent distinct
characters) and also store the first 64-bytes into a zmm register.
(2) We search for the edge in the haystack by looking into one cache
line of the haystack at a time. This avoids having to read past a page
boundary which can cause a seg fault.
(3) If an edge is found in the haystack we first compare the first
64-bytes of the needle (already stored in a zmm register) before we
proceed with a full string compare performed byte by byte.
Benchmarking results: (old = strstr_sse2_unaligned, new = strstr_avx512)

LoongArch is going to be the first architecture supported by Linux that
has neither fstat* nor newfstatat [1], instead exclusively relying on
statx. So in fstatat64's implementation, we need to also enable statx
usage if neither fstatat64 nor newfstatat is present, to prepare for
this new case of kernel ABI.
