Changes since v7:
- Fixed typo `bits` -> `bytes`
- Tuned threshold for applying the optimization
- Provided results for larger sizes requested by Max Chou

This patch provides up to 60% speedup on the `memcpy` benchmark from:

  
https://github.com/embecosm/rise-rvv-tcg-qemu-tooling/tree/main/strmem-benchmarks

There is some variation in the measurements so results are attached for six 
runs on a single thread on an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v4 @ 2.20GHz.

The three graphs are:

  memcpy-594c0cb1ab-128-speedup.pdf: VLEN 128

  memcpy-594c0cb1ab-1024-speedup.pdf: VLEN 1024

  memcpy-594c0cb1ab-stdlib-speedup.pdf: Scalar (to further illustrate 
measurement variation as this version will not touch the function modified by 
this patch)
