x86-64: Avoid rep movsb with short distance [BZ #27130]
When copying with "rep movsb", if the distance between source and
destination is N*4GB + [1..63] with N >= 0, performance may be very
slow.  This patch updates memmove-vec-unaligned-erms.S for AVX and
AVX512 versions with the distance in RCX:

	cmpl	$63, %ecx
	// Don't use "rep movsb" if ECX <= 63
	jbe	L(Don't use rep movsb")
	Use "rep movsb"

Benchtests data with bench-memcpy, bench-memcpy-large, bench-memcpy-random
and bench-memcpy-walk on Skylake, Ice Lake and Tiger Lake show that its
performance impact is within noise range as "rep movsb" is only used for
data size >= 4KB.
