PowerPC: memset optimization for POWER8/PPC64

This patch adds an optimized memset implementation for POWER8.  For
sizes from 0 to 255 bytes, a word/doubleword algorithm similar to
POWER7 optimized one is used.

For size higher than 255 two strategies are used:

1. If the constant is different than 0, the memory is written with
   altivec vector instruction;

2. If constant is 0, dbcz instructions are used.  The loop is unrolled
   to clear 512 byte at time.

Using vector instructions increases throughput considerable, with a
double performance for sizes larger than 1024.  The dcbz loops unrolls
also shows performance improvement, by doubling throughput for sizes
larger than 8192 bytes.
