string: Improve generic memchr

New algorithm read the first aligned address and mask off the
unwanted bytes (this strategy is similar to arch-specific
implementations used on powerpc, sparc, and sh).

The loop now read word-aligned address and check using the has_eq
macro.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc-linux-gnu,
and powerpc64-linux-gnu by removing the arch-specific assembly
implementation and disabling multi-arch (it covers both LE and BE
for 64 and 32 bits).
