This commit addresses the following shortcomings of our current, simple
and elegant memset function:
- REP STOSB/STOSQ has considerable startup overhead, it's impractical to
use for smaller sizes.
- Up until very recently, AMD CPUs didn't have support for "Enhanced REP
MOVSB/STOSB", so it performed pretty poorly on them.
With this commit applied, I could measure a ~5% decrease in `test-js`'s
runtime when I used qemu's TCG backend. The implementation is based on
the following article from Microsoft:
https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2021/01/11/building-faster-amd64-memset-routines
Two versions of the routine are implemented: one that uses the ERMS
extension mentioned above, and one that performs plain SSE stores. The
version appropriate for the CPU is selected at load time using an IFUNC.

Ports / other userland often needs such an implementation to function.
Lets expose `AK::timing_safe_compare` under the same name used used in
OpenBSD / FreeBSD / Solaris and other projects.

If we do not do this, the next call to strtok_r will start tokenizing
(and possibly modifying!) the memory pointed to by `saved_ptr`.

These POSIX APIs are defined as mapping directly to
`strrchr` and `strchr` respectively.
These are needed for the latest version of the stress-ng port,
and also give us better POSIX compliance.

This fixes at least half of our LibC includes in the kernel. The source
of truth for errno codes and their description strings now lives in
Kernel/API/POSIX/errno.h as an enumeration, which LibC includes.

These are required to compile a port.

This is used by the LLVM port.

We were missing out on opportunities to use memcpy() instead of
memmove() when the source and destination don't overlap.

Particularly noticeable in ports like openssl, which like to map the
entire error message set from 0 through 128 on startup.

This implements the XSI-compliant version of strerror_r() - as opposed
to the GNU-specific variant.
The function explicitly saves errno so as to not accidentally change it
with one of the calls to other functions.

This is used by the libphysfs port.

According to POSIX.1 all error codes have to be distinct - with
the exception for EAGAIN and EWOULDBLOCK. Other libcs including
eglibc and newlib define EWOULDBLOCK as an alias for EAGAIN and
some software including OpenTTD expect this behavior.

Printing error messages to stdout can have unintended side effects
depending on what the program is doing.

I dont know why we do a fast path in the Kernel, but not in Userspace
Also simplified the byte explosion in memset to "explode_byte"
it even seemed so, that we missed the highest byte when memseting something
