string: Improve generic strcmp

It follows the strategy:

  - Align the first input to word boundary using byte operations.

  - If second input is also word aligned, read a word per time, check for
    null (using has_zero), and check final words using byte operation.

  - If second input is not word aligned, loop by aligning the source, and
    merging the result of two reads.  Similar to aligned case, check for
    null with has_zero, and check final words using byte operation.

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