[AArch64] Implement movmem for the benefit of inline memcpy


Hi,

The move_by_pieces infrastructure performs a copy by repeatedly trying
the largest safe copy it can make. So for a 15-byte copy we might see:

offset   amount  bytes copied
0        8       0-7
8        4       8-11
12       2       12-13
14       1       14

However, we can implement a 15-byte copy as so:

offset   amount  bytes copied
0        8       0-7
7        8       7-14

Which can prove more efficient for both space and speed.

In this patch we set MOVE_RATIO low to avoid using move_by_pieces, and
implement the movmem pattern name to expand small block copy cases. Note, this
optimization does not apply for -mstrict-align targets, which must continue
copying byte-by-byte.

Setting MOVE_RATIO low in this way causes a few tests to begin failing,
both of these are documented in the test-case as expected to fail for
low MOVE_RATIO targets, which do not allow certain Tree-Level optimizations.

Bootstrapped on aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu with no issues.

OK for trunk?

Thanks,
James
