[PATCH 4/6] newlib: memmove: improve performance for overlapping buffers

[Alexey Lapshin]

This change provides word-sized copy for overlapping buffers, that could
increase performance significantly. Performance measurement for RISCV:

    uint8_t buf[1024];
    memmove (buf + 4, buf, sizeof(buf) - 4);

CPU cycles: 12255 -> 2076
