Optimization are primarily to the loop logic and how the page cross
logic interacts with the loop.
The page cross logic is at times more expensive for short strings near
the end of a page but not crossing the page. This is done to retest
the page cross conditions with a non-faulty check and to improve the
logic for entering the loop afterwards. This is only particular cases,
however, and is general made up for by more than 10x improvements on
the transition from the page cross -> loop case.
The non-page cross cases are improved most for smaller sizes [0, 128]
and go about even for (128, 4096]. The loop page cross logic is
improved so some more significant speedup is seen there as well.
test-strcmp, test-strncmp, test-wcscmp, and test-wcsncmp all pass.

Fixes [BZ# 28755] for wcsncmp by redirecting length >= 2^56 to
__wcscmp_avx2. For x86_64 this covers the entire address range so any
length larger could not possibly be used to bound `s1` or `s2`.
test-strcmp, test-strncmp, test-wcscmp, and test-wcsncmp all pass.

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.

strcmp-avx2.S: In avx2 strncmp function, strings are compared in
chunks of 4 vector size(i.e. 32x4=128 byte for avx2). After first 4
vector size comparison, code must check whether it already passed
the given offset. This patch implement avx2 offset check condition
for strncmp function, if both string compare same for first 4 vector
size.
On x32, the size_t parameter may be passed in the lower 32 bits of a
64-bit register with the non-zero upper 32 bits. The string/memory
functions written in assembly can only use the lower 32 bits of a
64-bit register as length or must clear the upper 32 bits before using
the full 64-bit register for length.
This pach fixes the strncmp family for x32. Tested on x86-64 and x32.
On x86-64, libc.so is the same with and withou the fix.

Optimize x86-64 strcmp/wcscmp and strncmp/wcsncmp with AVX2. It uses vector
comparison as much as possible. Peak performance observed on a SkyLake
machine: 9x, 3x, 2.5x and 5.5x for strcmp, strncmp, wcscmp and wcsncmp,
respectively. The larger the comparison length, the more benefit using
avx2 functions, except on the strcmp, where peak is observed at length
== 32 bytes. Select AVX2 strcmp/wcscmp on AVX2 machines where vzeroupper
is preferred and AVX unaligned load is fast.
NB: It uses TZCNT instead of BSF since TZCNT produces the same result
as BSF for non-zero input. TZCNT is faster than BSF and is executed
as BSF if machine doesn't support TZCNT.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/Makefile (sysdep_routines): Add
strcmp-avx2, strncmp-avx2, wcscmp-avx2, wcscmp-sse2, wcsncmp-avx2 and
