[PATCH] D56436: [SelectionDAG][RFC] Allow the user to specify a memeq function (v4).

Right now, when we encounter a string equality check,
e.g. `if (memcmp(a, b, s) == 0)`, we try to expand to a comparison if `s` is a
small compile-time constant, and fall back on calling `memcmp()` else.

This is sub-optimal because memcmp has to compute much more than
equality.

This patch uses `bcmp()` on platforms that support it.

This function will be called instead of `memcmp()` when the result of the memcmp
call is only used for equality comparison.

`bcmp` can be made much more efficient than `memcmp` because equality
compare is trivially parallel while lexicographic ordering has a chain
dependency.
