Add more small and medium sized tests for strcmp and strncmp.
As well for strcmp add option for more direct control of
alignment. Previously alignment was being pushed to the end of the
page. While this is the most difficult case to implement, it is far
from the common case and so shouldn't be the only benchmark.

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.

remote: *** 913:
remote: *** 914-

Drop realloc_bufs in favour of making alloc_bufs transparently
reallocate the buffers if it had allocated before. Also consolidate
computation of buffer lengths so that they don't get repeated on every
reallocation.
* benchtests/bench-string.h (buf1_size, buf2_size): New
variables.
(init_sizes): New function.
(test_init): Use it.
(alloc_buf, exit_error): New functions.
(alloc_bufs): Use ALLOC_BUF.
(realloc_bufs): Remove.
* benchtests/bench-memcmp.c (do_test): Adjust.
* benchtests/bench-memset-large.c (do_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-memset-walk.c (do_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-memset.c (do_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-strncmp.c (do_test): Likewise.
The 0 length strncmp is interesting for correctness but not for
performance.
* benchtests/bench-strncmp.c (test_main): Remove 0 length tests.
(do_test_limit): Likewise.
Don't reuse buffers for different strncmp implementations since the
earlier implementation will end up warming the cache for the later
one. Eventually there should be a more elegant way to do this.
* benchtests/bench-strncmp.c (do_test_limit): Reallocate buffers
for every implementation.
(do_test): Likewise.
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.
ChangeLog:

of including hp-timing.h directly. (INNER_LOOP_ITERS): New
define. (HP_TIMING_BEST): Delete macro. (test_init): Remove
call to HP_TIMING_DIFF_INIT.

instead of hp-timing.h macros.
