libgo: ensure memmove, memset 8 byte atomicity on ppc64x
Go requires that pointer moves are done 8 bytes at a time, but gccgo uses libc's memmove and memset which does not require that, and there are some cases where an 8 byte move might be done as 4+4. To enforce 8 byte moves for memmove and memset, this adds a C implementation in libgo/runtime for memmove and memset to be used on ppc64le and ppc64. Asm implementations were considered but discarded to avoid different implementations for different target ISAs. Fixes golang/go#41428 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/gofrontend/+/294931
