x86: Optimize memset-vec-unaligned-erms.S
No bug.

Optimization are

1. change control flow for L(more_2x_vec) to fall through to loop and
   jump for L(less_4x_vec) and L(less_8x_vec). This uses less code
   size and saves jumps for length > 4x VEC_SIZE.

2. For EVEX/AVX512 move L(less_vec) closer to entry.

3. Avoid complex address mode for length > 2x VEC_SIZE

4. Slightly better aligning code for the loop from the perspective of
   code size and uops.

5. Align targets so they make full use of their fetch block and if
   possible cache line.

6. Try and reduce total number of icache lines that will need to be
   pulled in for a given length.

7. Include "local" version of stosb target. For AVX2/EVEX/AVX512
   jumping to the stosb target in the sse2 code section will almost
   certainly be to a new page. The new version does increase code size
   marginally by duplicating the target but should get better iTLB
   behavior as a result.

test-memset, test-wmemset, and test-bzero are all passing.
