Performance is more important in this case than the theoretical benefit
of constexpr. This commit implements the SSE2 search for 16-bit null and
it might be possible to implement the equivalent for AArch64
(investigation required). It also adds a fallback to wcslen() for
systems where wchar_t is short (non-x86 Windows or 32-bit x86 build with
-no-sse2).
We can re-add the constexpr loop once the C++ language has a way of
overloading constexpr and non-constexpr. GCC has a non-standard way to
do that with __builtin_constant_p, which is also implemented in this
commit, but note that the inline function is still not constexpr.
