The patch adds strlen.S to contain the complementary preprocessor
logic to strlen-stub.c intended to provide #inclusion of alternative
.S implementations.
Initially we just include the existing strlen-armv7.S implementation.
We rewrite _ISA_ARMV7 in both strlen.S and strlen-stub.c to use the
underlying existing underlying defintion from arm_asm.h in order to
avoide including that file, this is in effect the first step towards a
move to ACLE predefines only.
Tested by building newlib and comparing libc.a binaries before and
after for all permutations of:
Architectures:
armv4 armv4t armv5 armv5t armv5te armv6 armv6j armv6k
armv6z armv6kz armv6t2 armv6-m armv6s-m armv7 armv7-a
armv7ve armv7-r armv7-m armv7e-m armv8-a iwmmxt iwmmxt2
ISAs:
thumb arm
Optimization Levels:
Os O2
Excluding:
armv6s-m -mthumb
armv6-m -mthumb
armv6zk -mthumb
armv6z -mthumb
armv6k -mthumb
armv6j -mthumb
In order to maintain consistency both within machine/arm and between
machine/arm and machine/aarch64, rename the 'c' stub to -stub.c.

The patch cleans up the auto configury mechanism used to select
different implementations of memchr for various architecture versions.
The approach here is to remove the selection of memchr within automake
and instead use complimentary logic in memchr-stub.c and memchr.S to
choose between the gerneric memchr.c implementation or one of the
architecture specific implementations.
This patch also changes the selection criteria inline with the
previous proposal here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2015/msg00752.html
but using the ACLE predefines.
Regressed for armv7-a armv5 armv8-a, correct selection of memcpy
implementation by manual inspection of a test program built for these
three architectures.

Regressed for armv7-a armv5 armv8-a, correct selection of memcpy
implementation by manual inspection of a test program built for these
three architectures.
This revised patch flips the remaining preprocessor logic in
memcpy-stub.c to use ACLE defines as requested in the previous review
and removes the now disused HAVE_ARMV7A and HAVE_ARMV8A configure.in
support.
The newlib configury logic that detects architecture version and
chooses an appropriate memcpy implementation does not consider
ARMv8-a.
This patch adds configury logic to detect ARMv8-a along with the
associated changes in Makefile.am and memcpy.
