AArch64: Optimize strlen
Optimize strlen by unrolling the main loop. Large strings are 64% faster on modern CPUs. Reviewed-by: Szabolcs Nagy <szabolcs.nagy@arm.com> (cherry picked from commit 03c8ce5000198947a4dd7b2c14e5131738fda62b)

/* Core algorithm:
-
- For each 16-byte chunk we calculate a 64-bit nibble mask value with four bits
- per byte. We take 4 bits of every comparison byte with shift right and narrow
- by 4 instruction. Since the bits in the nibble mask reflect the order in
- which things occur in the original string, counting trailing zeros identifies
- exactly which byte matched. */
+ Process the string in 16-byte aligned chunks. Compute a 64-bit mask with
+ four bits per byte using the shrn instruction. A count trailing zeros then
