fix aliasing-based undefined behavior in string functions
use the GNU C may_alias attribute if available, and fallback to naive
byte-by-byte loops if __GNUC__ is not defined.

this patch has been written to minimize changes so that history
remains reviewable; it does not attempt to bring the affected code
into a more consistent or elegant form.
