New algorithm have the following key differences:

  - Reads first word unaligned and use string-maskoff function to
    remove unwanted data.  This strategy follow assemble optimized
    ones for aarch64, powerpc and tile.

  - Use string-fz{b,i} and string-opthr functions.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, sparc64-linux-gnu,
and sparcv9-linux-gnu by removing the arch-specific assembly
implementation and disabling multi-arch (it covers both LE and BE
for 64 and 32 bits).

	[BZ #5806]
	* string/memchr.c: Use string-fzb.h, string-fzi.h, string-opthr.h.

-     bytes in the longword in question are equal to c.  We first use an xor
-     with repeated_c.  This reduces the task to testing whether *any of the
-     four* bytes in longword1 is zero.
-
-     We compute tmp =
-       ((longword1 - repeated_one) & ~longword1) & (repeated_one << 7).
-     That is, we perform the following operations:
-       1. Subtract repeated_one.
-       2. & ~longword1.
-       3. & a mask consisting of 0x80 in every byte.
-     Consider what happens in each byte:
-       - If a byte of longword1 is zero, step 1 and 2 transform it into 0xff,
-	 and step 3 transforms it into 0x80.  A carry can also be propagated
-	 to more significant bytes.
-       - If a byte of longword1 is nonzero, let its lowest 1 bit be at
-	 position k (0 <= k <= 7); so the lowest k bits are 0.  After step 1,
-	 the byte ends in a single bit of value 0 and k bits of value 1.
-	 After step 2, the result is just k bits of value 1: 2^k - 1.  After
-	 step 3, the result is 0.  And no carry is produced.
-     So, if longword1 has only non-zero bytes, tmp is zero.
-     Whereas if longword1 has a zero byte, call j the position of the least
-     significant zero byte.  Then the result has a zero at positions 0, ...,
-     j-1 and a 0x80 at position j.  We cannot predict the result at the more
-     significant bytes (positions j+1..3), but it does not matter since we
-     already have a non-zero bit at position 8*j+7.
-
-     So, the test whether any byte in longword1 is zero is equivalent to
-     testing whether tmp is nonzero.  */
