Implemented:
wcscat-avx2 (+ 744 bytes
wcscpy-avx2 (+ 539 bytes)
wcpcpy-avx2 (+ 577 bytes)
wcsncpy-avx2 (+1108 bytes)
wcpncpy-avx2 (+1214 bytes)
wcsncat-avx2 (+1085 bytes)
Performance Changes:
Times are from N = 10 runs of the benchmark suite and are reported
as geometric mean of all ratios of New Implementation / Best Old
Implementation. Best Old Implementation was determined with the
highest ISA implementation.
wcscat-avx2 -> 0.975
wcscpy-avx2 -> 0.591
wcpcpy-avx2 -> 0.698
wcsncpy-avx2 -> 0.730
wcpncpy-avx2 -> 0.711
wcsncat-avx2 -> 0.954
Code Size Changes:
This change increase the size of libc.so by ~5.5kb bytes. For
reference the patch optimizing the normal strcpy family functions
decreases libc.so by ~5.2kb.
Full check passes on x86-64 and build succeeds for all ISA levels w/
and w/o multiarch.

Code Size Changes:
This change increase the size of libc.so by ~6.3kb bytes. For
reference the patch optimizing the normal strcpy family functions
decreases libc.so by ~5.7kb.

1. Add ISA level build guards to different implementations.
- wcscpy-ssse3.S is used as ISA level 2/3/4.
- wcscpy-generic.c is only used at ISA level 1 and will
only build if compiled with ISA level == 1. Otherwise
there is no reason to include it as we will always use
wcscpy-ssse3.S
2. 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.
