1. Refactor files so that all implementations for in the multiarch
directory.
- Essentially moved sse2 {raw|w}memchr.S implementation to
multiarch/{raw|w}memchr-sse2.S
- The non-multiarch {raw|w}memchr.S 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 memchr-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 (memchr-evex{-rtm}.S).
3. Add new multiarch/rtld-{raw}memchr.S that just include the
non-multiarch {raw}memchr.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.
- Guranteed replacement essentially means that for any ISA level
build there must be a function that the baseline of the ISA
supports. So for {raw|w}memchr.S since there is not ISA level 2
function, the ISA level 2 build still includes the ISA level
1 (sse2) function. Once we reach the ISA level 3 build, however,
{raw|w}memchr-avx2{-rtm}.S will always be sufficient so the ISA
level 1 implementation ({raw|w}memchr-sse2.S) will not be built.
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.
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.

SSE2 memchr is extended to support wmemchr. AVX2 memchr/rawmemchr/wmemchr
are added to search 32 bytes with a single vector compare instruction.
AVX2 memchr/rawmemchr/wmemchr are as fast as SSE2 memchr/rawmemchr/wmemchr
for small sizes and up to 1.5X faster for larger sizes on Haswell and
Skylake. Select AVX2 memchr/rawmemchr/wmemchr 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.
