    x86-64: Avoid rep movsb with short distance [BZ #27130]

introduced some regressions on Intel processors without Fast Short REP
MOV (FSRM).  Add Avoid_Short_Distance_REP_MOVSB to avoid rep movsb with
short distance only on Intel processors with FSRM.  bench-memmove-large
on Skylake server shows that cycles of __memmove_evex_unaligned_erms
improves for the following data size:
