fbdev: Improve performance of sys_imageblit()

Improve the performance of sys_imageblit() by manually unrolling
the inner blitting loop and moving some invariants out. The compiler
failed to do this automatically. The resulting binary code was even
slower than the cfb_imageblit() helper, which uses the same algorithm,
but operates on I/O memory.

A microbenchmark measures the average number of CPU cycles
for sys_imageblit() after a stabilizing period of a few minutes
(i7-4790, FullHD, simpledrm, kernel with debugging). The value
for CFB is given as a reference.

  sys_imageblit(), new: 25934 cycles
  sys_imageblit(), old: 35944 cycles
  cfb_imageblit():      30566 cycles

In the optimized case, sys_imageblit() is now ~30% faster than before
and ~20% faster than cfb_imageblit().

v2:
	* move switch out of inner loop (Gerd)
	* remove test for alignment of dst1 (Sam)
