[PATCH 1/4] Improve generic strcspn performance

From: Wilco Dijkstra <wdijkstr@arm.com>

Improve strcspn performance using a much faster algorithm.  It is kept simple
so it works well on most targets.  It is generally at least 10 times faster
than the existing implementation on bench-strcspn on a few AArch64
implementations, and for some tests 100 times as fast (repeatedly calling
strchr on a small string is extremely slow...).

In fact the string/bits/string2.h inlines make no longer sense, as GCC
already uses strlen if reject is an empty string, strchrnul is 5 times as
fast as __strcspn_c1, while __strcspn_c2 and __strcspn_c3 are slower than
the strcspn main loop for large strings (though reject length 2-4 could be
special cased in the future to gain even more performance).

Tested on x86_64, i686, and aarch64.

	* string/strcspn.c (strcspn): Rewrite function.
	* string/bits/string2.h (strcspn): Use __builtin_strcspn.
