Noah Goldstein 104c7b1967 x86: Add EVEX optimized memchr family not safe for RTM
No bug.

This commit adds a new implementation for EVEX memchr that is not safe
for RTM because it uses vzeroupper. The benefit is that by using
ymm0-ymm15 it can use vpcmpeq and vpternlogd in the 4x loop which is
faster than the RTM safe version which cannot use vpcmpeq because
there is no EVEX encoding for the instruction. All parts of the
implementation aside from the 4x loop are the same for the two
versions and the optimization is only relevant for large sizes.
