x86: Improve vec generation in memset-vec-unaligned-erms.S
No bug.

Split vec generation into multiple steps. This allows the
broadcast in AVX2 to use 'xmm' registers for the L(less_vec)
case. This saves an expensive lane-cross instruction and removes
the need for 'vzeroupper'.

For SSE2 replace 2x 'punpck' instructions with zero-idiom 'pxor' for
byte broadcast.

Results for memset-avx2 small (geomean of N = 20 benchset runs).

All relevant string/wcsmbs tests are passing.
