[PATCH] D142305: [ADT] llvm::bit_cast - use __builtin_bit_cast if available

[David Blaikie via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

> If the compiler supports __builtin_bit_cast we should try to use it instead of std::memcpy (and avoid including the cstring header).

Why? Maintaining non-portable code has some cost, if we can get similar/sufficient/the same performance without special casing, that seems better. Do we not get adequate performance with `std::memcpy`? Is the header especially expensive to include?
