lib/libc/string: replace ffs/fls implementations with clang builtins

Most architectures we support (except for riscv64) have instructions
to compute these functions very quickly. Replace old code with the
ffs and clz builtin functions, allowing clang to generate good code
for all architectures.

As a consequence, toss out arm and i386 ffs() implementations.

bde reports (in a reply to r351700 commit mail):
This uses scasb, which was last optimal on the 8086, or perhaps the
original i386. On freefall, it is several times slower than the
naive translation of the naive C code.

Merge index() and strchr() together.

As I looked through the C library, I noticed the FreeBSD MIPS port has a
hand-written version of index(). This is nice, if it weren't for the
fact that most applications call strchr() instead.

Also, on the other architectures index() and strchr() are identical,
meaning we have two identical pieces of code in the C library and
statically linked applications.

Solve this by naming the actual file strchr.[cS] and let it use
__strong_reference()/STRONG_ALIAS() to provide the index() routine. Do
the same for rindex()/strrchr().

This seems to make the C libraries and static binaries slightly smaller,
but this reduction in size seems negligible.

libc: Remove the i386 assembler version of strlen(3).

On anything modern, the C version, which processes a word at a time, is much
faster. The Intel optimization manual explicitly warns against using REP
prefixes with SCAS or CMPS, which is exactly what the assembler version
does.

A simple test on a Phenom II showed the C version, compiled with -O2, to be
about twice as fast determining the length of 100000 strings between 0 and
255 bytes long.

Handle machine-dependent (m-d) (string) sources more automatically.
The names of m-d variants are now added (manually) to MDSRCS instead
of to SRCS, and the names of all machine-independent (m-i) variants
that can reasonably be replaced by an m-d variant are now added
(manually) to MISRCS instead of to SRCS, so that a simple substitution
can be used to discard the unused m-i variants. MISRCS is potentially
all m-i sources, but the substitution is too simple to be fast, so
MISRCS should be kept reasonably small.

libc/Makefile.inc:
Do the substitution.

libc/i386/string/Makefile.inc:
Add to MDSRCS instead of to SRCS. Add the names of all sources in this
directory, but no others.

Use separate routines for memmove() and memcpy(). This lets me drop
the (buggy) support for alternative entry points. ALTENTRY() was only

memcpy() is rarely used (gcc normally inlines it).
