Adjust iteration counts so benchmarks don't run too slowly or quickly.
Ensure benchmarks take less than 10 seconds on older, slower cores and
more than 0.5 seconds on fast cores.

Remove memchr_strnlen since it is now the same as generic_strnlen. Adjust
iteration count to reduce benchmark time. Keep memchr_strlen since the
generic strlen does not use memchr.

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.

Some benchmarks with a very short runtime show significantly
different results across runs on Aarch64 - up to tens of percents.
Increasing the runtime to 100ms+ makes the deviation under 5%.
Tested on Aarch64 and x86-64.

Switch the string benchmarks to using bench-timing.h instead
of hp-timing.h directly. This allows the string benchmarks to
be run usefully on architectures such as ARM that do not have
support for hp-timing.h.
In order to do this the tests have been changed from timing each
individual call and picking the lowest execution time recorded to
timing a number of calls and taking the mean execution time.
