x86: Optimize L(less_vec) case in memcmpeq-evex.S
No bug.
Optimizations are twofold.

1) Replace page cross and 0/1 checks with masked load instructions in
   L(less_vec). In applications this reduces branch-misses in the
   hot [0, 32] case.
2) Change controlflow so that L(less_vec) case gets the fall through.

Change 2) helps copies in the [0, 32] size range but comes at the cost
of copies in the [33, 64] size range.  From profiles of GCC and
Python3, 94%+ and 99%+ of calls are in the [0, 32] range so this
appears to the the right tradeoff.
