sparc: M7 optimized memcpy/mempcpy/memmove
Support added to identify Sparc M7/T7/S7/M8/T8 processor capability.
Performance tests run on Sparc S7 using new code and old niagara4 code.

Optimizations for memcpy also apply to mempcpy and memmove
where they share code. Optimizations for memset also apply
to bzero as they share code.

For memcpy/mempcpy/memmove, performance comparison with niagara4 code:
Long word aligned data
  0-127 bytes - minimal changes
  128-1023 bytes - 7-30% gain
  1024+ bytes - 1-7% gain (in cache); 30-100% gain (out of cache)
Word aligned data
  0-127 bytes - 50%+ gain
  128-1023 bytes - 10-200% gain
  1024+ bytes - 0-15% gain (in cache); 5-50% gain (out of cache)
Unaligned data
  0-127 bytes - 0-70%+ gain
  128-447 bytes - 40-80%+ gain
  448-511 bytes - 1-3% loss
  512-4096 bytes - 2-3% gain (in cache); 0-20% gain (out of cache)
  4096+ bytes - ± 3% (in cache); 20-50% gain (out of cache)

Tested in sparcv9-*-* and sparc64-*-* targets in both multi and
non-multi arch configurations.
