x86: Remove memcmp-sse4.S

Code didn't actually use any sse4 instructions since `ptest` was
removed in:

    x86: Shrink memcmp-sse4.S code size

The new memcmp-sse2 implementation is also faster.

geometric_mean(N=20) of page cross cases SSE2 / SSE4: 0.905

Note there are two regressions preferring SSE2 for Size = 1 and Size =
65.

Size = 1:
size, align0, align1, ret, New Time/Old Time
   1,      1,      1,   0,               1.2
   1,      1,      1,   1,             1.197
   1,      1,      1,  -1,               1.2

This is intentional. Size == 1 is significantly less hot based on
profiles of GCC11 and Python3 than sizes [4, 8] (which is made
hotter).

Python3 Size = 1        -> 13.64%
Python3 Size = [4, 8]   -> 60.92%

GCC11   Size = 1        ->  1.29%
GCC11   Size = [4, 8]   -> 33.86%

size, align0, align1, ret, New Time/Old Time
   4,      4,      4,   0,             0.622
   4,      4,      4,   1,             0.797
   4,      4,      4,  -1,             0.805
   5,      5,      5,   0,             0.623
   5,      5,      5,   1,             0.777
   5,      5,      5,  -1,             0.802
   6,      6,      6,   0,             0.625
   6,      6,      6,   1,             0.813
   6,      6,      6,  -1,             0.788
   7,      7,      7,   0,             0.625
   7,      7,      7,   1,             0.799
   7,      7,      7,  -1,             0.795
   8,      8,      8,   0,             0.625
   8,      8,      8,   1,             0.848
   8,      8,      8,  -1,             0.914
   9,      9,      9,   0,             0.625

Size = 65:
size, align0, align1, ret, New Time/Old Time
  65,      0,      0,   0,             1.103
  65,      0,      0,   1,             1.216
  65,      0,      0,  -1,             1.227
  65,     65,      0,   0,             1.091
  65,      0,     65,   1,              1.19
  65,     65,     65,  -1,             1.215

This is because A) the checks in range [65, 96] are now unrolled 2x
and B) because smaller values <= 16 are now given a hotter path. By
contrast the SSE4 version has a branch for Size = 80. The unrolled
version has get better performance for returns which need both
comparisons.

size, align0, align1, ret, New Time/Old Time
 128,      4,      8,   0,             0.858
 128,      4,      8,   1,             0.879
 128,      4,      8,  -1,             0.888

As well, out of microbenchmark environments that are not full
predictable the branch will have a real-cost.
