The large memcpy micro benchmark in glibc shows that there is a
regression with large data on Haswell machine. non-temporal store in
memcpy on large data can improve performance significantly. This
patch adds a threshold to use non temporal store which is 6 times of
shared cache size. When size is above the threshold, non temporal
store will be used, but avoid non-temporal store if there is overlap
between destination and source since destination may be in cache when
source is loaded.
For size below 8 vector register width, we load all data into registers
and store them together. Only forward and backward loops, which move 4
vector registers at a time, are used to support overlapping addresses.
For forward loop, we load the last 4 vector register width of data and
the first vector register width of data into vector registers before the
loop and store them after the loop. For backward loop, we load the first
4 vector register width of data and the last vector register width of
data into vector registers before the loop and store them after the loop.

Rewrite to use forward and backward loops, which move 4 vector
registers at a time, to support overlapping addresses and use
non temporal store if size is above the threshold and there is
no overlap between destination and source.
Since memmove and memset in ld.so don't use IFUNC, don't put SSE2, AVX
and AVX512 memmove and memset in ld.so.

Implement x86-64 memmove with unaligned load/store and rep movsb.
Support 16-byte, 32-byte and 64-byte vector register sizes. When
size <= 8 times of vector register size, there is no check for
address overlap bewteen source and destination. Since overhead for
overlap check is small when size > 8 times of vector register size,
memcpy is an alias of memmove.
A single file provides 2 implementations of memmove, one with rep movsb
and the other without rep movsb. They share the same codes when size is
between 2 times of vector register size and REP_MOVSB_THRESHOLD which
is 2KB for 16-byte vector register size and scaled up by large vector
register size.
Key features:
1. Use overlapping load and store to avoid branch.
2. For size <= 8 times of vector register size, load all sources into
registers and store them together.
3. If there is no address overlap bewteen source and destination, copy
from both ends with 4 times of vector register size at a time.
4. If address of destination > address of source, backward copy 8 times
of vector register size at a time.
5. Otherwise, forward copy 8 times of vector register size at a time.
6. Use rep movsb only for forward copy. Avoid slow backward rep movsb
by fallbacking to backward copy 8 times of vector register size at a
time.
7. Skip when address of destination == address of source.
