tile: optimize and clean up string functions
This change cleans up the string code in a number of ways: - For memcpy(), fix bug in prefetch and increase distance to 3 lines; optimize for unaligned data; do all loads before wh64 to make memcpy safe for forward-overlapping calls; etc. Performance is improved. - Use new copy_byte() function on tilegx to spread a single byte value out into a full word using the shufflebytes instruction. - Clean up header include ordering to be more canonical, and remove spurious #undefs of function names.
