Danila Kutenin 3c99806989 aarch64: Optimize string functions with shrn instruction
We found that string functions were using AND+ADDP
to find the nibble/syndrome mask but there is an easier
opportunity through `SHRN dst.8b, src.8h, 4` (shift
right every 2 bytes by 4 and narrow to 1 byte) and has
same latency on all SIMD ARMv8 targets as ADDP. There
are also possible gaps for memcmp but that's for
another patch.

We see 10-20% savings for small-mid size cases (<=128)
which are primary cases for general workloads.

/* Core algorithm:
For each 16-byte chunk we calculate a 64-bit nibble mask value with four bits
per byte. We take 4 bits of every comparison byte with shift right and narrow
by 4 instruction. Since the bits in the nibble mask reflect the order in
which things occur in the original string, counting trailing zeros identifies
exactly which byte matched. */
