1. Refactor files so that all implementations are in the multiarch
directory
- Moved the implementation portion of memcmp sse2 from memcmp.S to
multiarch/memcmp-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 memcmp-avx2-movsb.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 (memcmp-evex-movbe.S).
3. Add new multiarch/rtld-{w}memcmp{eq}.S that just include the
non-multiarch {w}memcmp{eq}.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.
New code save size (-303 bytes) and has significantly better
performance.

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.

Broke --disable-multi-arch build for x86_64 because x86_64/memcmpeq.S
was not defined outside of multiarch and the alias for __memcmpeq in
x86_64/memcmp.S was removed.
This commit fixes that issue by adding x86_64/memcmpeq.S.
