1. Add default ISA level selection in non-multiarch/rtld
implementations.
2. Add ISA level build guards to different implementations.
- I.e strcmp-avx2.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 (strcmp-evex.S).
3. 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.
Most of these don't really matter as there was no dirty upper state
but we should generally avoid stray sse when its not needed.
The one case that really matters is in svml_d_tanh4_core_avx2.S:
blendvps %xmm0, %xmm8, %xmm7
When there was a dirty upper state.
Tested on x86_64-linux
The new code unrolls the main loop slightly without adding too much
overhead and minimizes the comparisons for the search CHAR.
Geometric Mean of all benchmarks New / Old: 0.832
See email for all results.
Full xcheck passes on x86_64 with and without multiarch enabled.

I used these shell commands:

(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:

I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,

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.

Optimize strrchr/wcsrchr with AVX2 to check 32 bytes with vector
instructions. It is as fast as SSE2 version for small data sizes
and up to 1X faster for large data sizes on Haswell. Select AVX2
version on AVX2 machines where vzeroupper is preferred and AVX
unaligned load is fast.
