arm64: klib: Optimised memory functions
This patch introduces AArch64-specific memory functions (memcpy, memmove, memchr, memset). These functions are not optimised for any CPU implementation but can be used as a starting point once hardware is available. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
