x86: Optimize memrchr-evex.S

The new code:
    1. prioritizes smaller user-arg lengths more.
    2. optimizes target placement more carefully
    3. reuses logic more
    4. fixes up various inefficiencies in the logic. The biggest
       case here is the `lzcnt` logic for checking returns which
       saves either a branch or multiple instructions.

The total code size saving is: 263 bytes
Geometric Mean of all benchmarks New / Old: 0.755

Regressions:
There are some regressions. Particularly where the length (user arg
length) is large but the position of the match char is near the
beginning of the string (in first VEC). This case has roughly a
20% regression.

This is because the new logic gives the hot path for immediate matches
to shorter lengths (the more common input). This case has roughly
a 35% speedup.

Full xcheck passes on x86_64.
