This bug will happen when these circumstances are met:
- Destination address & 0x7 == 1, strlen of src is 11, 12, 13.
- Destination address & 0x7 == 2, strlen of src is 10, 11, 12.
- Destination address & 0x7 == 3, strlen of src is 9, 10, 11.
- Destination address & 0x7 == 4, strlen of src is 8, 9, 10.
In these cases, the dest alignment code does a ldr which reads 4 bytes,
and it will read past the end of the source. In most cases, this is
probably benign, but if this crosses into a new page it could cause a
crash.
Fix the labels in the cortex-a9 strcat.
Modify the overread test to vary the dst alignment to expost this bug.
Also, shrink the strcat/strlcat overread cases since the dst alignment
variation increases the runtime too much.

Our <machine/asm.h> files were modified from upstream, to the extent
that no architecture was actually using the upstream ENTRY or END macros,
assuming that architecture even had such a macro upstream. This patch moves
everyone to the same macros, with just a few tweaks remaining in the
<machine/asm.h> files, which no one should now use directly.
I've removed most of the unused cruft from the <machine/asm.h> files, though
there's still rather a lot in the mips/mips64 ones.

Create one version of strcat/strcpy/strlen for cortex-a15/krait and another
version for cortex-a9.
Tested with the libc_test strcat/strcpy/strlen tests.
Including new tests that verify that the src for strcat/strcpy do not
overread across page boundaries.
NOTE: The handling of unaligned strcpy (same code in strcat) could probably
be optimized further such that the src is read 64 bits at a time instead of
the partial reads occurring now.
strlen improves slightly since it was recently optimized.
Performance improvements for strcpy and strcat (using an empty dest string):
cortex-a9
- Small copies vary from about 5% to 20% as the size gets above 10 bytes.
- Copies >= 1024, about a 60% improvement.
- Unaligned copies, from about 40% improvement.
cortex-a15
- Most small copies exhibit a 100% improvement, a few copies only
improve by 20%.
- Copies >= 1024, about 150% improvement.
- Unaligned copies, about 100% improvement.
krait
- Most small copies vary widely, but on average 20% improvement, then
the performance gets better, hitting about a 100% improvement when
copies 64 bytes of data.
- Copies >= 1024, about 100% improvement.
- When coping MBs of data, about 50% improvement.
- Unaligned copies, about 90% improvement.
As strcat destination strings get larger in size:
cortex-a9
- about 40% improvement for small dst strings (>= 32).
- about 250% improvement for dst strings >= 1024.
cortex-a15
- about 200% improvement for small dst strings (>=32).
- about 250% improvement for dst strings >= 1024.
krait
- about 25% improvement for small dst strings (>=32).
- about 100% improvement for dst strings >=1024.
Merge from internal master.
