libc/arch-arm/bionic/memcpy.a9.S: memcpy from cortex-strings.

This memcpy code uses NEON/VFP to achieve very good performance
on ARMv7-A processors. It is specifically tuned for A15 but should
provide good performance on A9 also. It is equivalent to the code
in cortex-strings rev 116.

This patch is a follow up the existing gerrit change:

I7f6f77995f3ca903ad9c66d14261441667a2a935

This version includes a tweak for performance on misaligned
buffers and splits the header comment into license and
documentation sections.
