[x86] Add a feature bit: Fast_Unaligned_Copy
On AMD processors, memcpy optimized with unaligned SSE load is slower than emcpy optimized with aligned SSSE3 while other string functions are faster with unaligned SSE load. A feature bit, Fast_Unaligned_Copy, is added to select memcpy optimized with unaligned SSE load. [BZ #19583] * sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): Set Fast_Unaligned_Copy with Fast_Unaligned_Load for Intel processors. Set Fast_Copy_Backward for AMD Excavator processors. * sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.h (bit_arch_Fast_Unaligned_Copy): New. (index_arch_Fast_Unaligned_Copy): Likewise. * sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcpy.S (__new_memcpy): Check Fast_Unaligned_Copy instead of Fast_Unaligned_Load.
