Subject: [PATCH] aarch64: add optimized memcpy, memmove and memset

minimal edits to upstream version for easier updates
and because this code was benchmarked across many cores.

gcc generates slow code for the current c implementations.

the integer memcpy was chosen instead of the simd one,
this performs better on little cores, i think this is
the more conservative choice for now.

note: there are upcoming security architectures which
may mean updates to these functions (BTI - landing pads,
PAUTH - return address signing, MTE - 16byte tag granule
may affect optimized strcmp etc, not relevant yet), but
runtime support for these will need other libc changes.
