  [llvm][IR] Treat memcmp and bcmp as libcalls

Since the backend may emit calls to these functions, they should be
treated like other libcalls. If we don't, then it is possible to
have their definitions removed during LTO because they are dead, only to
have a later transform introduce calls to them.

See https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-addressing-deficiencies-in-llvm-s-lto-implementation/84999
for more information.
