LTO can re-order top-level assembly blocks, which can cause this
macro definition to appear after its use (or not at all), causing
compilation failures. On modern toolchains (armv4t+), assembly
should write `bx lr` in all cases, and linkers will transparently
convert them to `mov pc, lr`, allowing us to simply remove the
macro.

and verified empirically)
For the armv4.S file, preserve this macro to maximize backwards
compatibility.
LTO can re-order top-level assembly blocks, which can cause this
macro definition to appear after its use (or not at all), causing
compilation failures. As the macro has very few uses, simply removing
it by inlining is a simple fix.
n.b. one of the macro invocations in strlen-stub.c was already
guarded by the relevant #define, so it is simply converted directly
to a pld
memchr.S.
* libc/machine/arm/arm_asm.h: Add ifdef to allow it to be included
in .S files.
* libc/machine/arm/memchr-stub.c: New file - just selects what to
compile.
* libc/machine/arm/memchr.S: New file - ARMv6t2/v7 version.
* libc/machine/arm/Makefile.am (lib_a_SOURCES): Add strlen-armv7.S.
* libc/machine/arm/strlen-armv7.S: New file.
* libc/machine/arm/strlen.c: Add ifdef optimised code so it isn't
for v7 or 6t2.
* libc/machine/arm/Makefile.in: Regenerate.
* libc/machine/arm/arm_asm.h: New file.
* libc/machine/arm/strlen.c: New file.
* libc/machine/arm/strcpy.c: New file.
* libc/machine/arm/strcmp.c: New file.
* libc/machine/arm/Makefile.am: Add new string routines.
