amd64: reimplement libc memcmp and bcmp with kernel memcmp

Both are significantly slower than hand-coded loops. See r338963 for
kernel commit.

bcmp differs from memcmp by always returning 1 when a difference is
found, as opposed to going for a value bigger or lower than 0
depending on what it is. This means it can do less work. For now the
code is duplicated and modified. This will get deduplicated after
another round of optimization when memcmp will get a longer-term form.

Both tested with the glibc suite. While the suite does not have a test
for bcmp, I created a wrapper routine which verified that values match
(0 vs 0, 1 vs non-zero).

We've been lax about matching END() macros in asm code for some time. This
is used to set the ELF size attribute for functions. It isn't normally
critical but some things can make use of it (gdb for stack traces).
Valgrind needs it so I'm adding it in. The problem is present on all
branches and on both i386 and amd64.
