When the destination buffer is before the source one, or when the buffers
doesn't overlap, it's safe to use memcpy() instead, which is optimized to
use a bigger data size possible.
This "optimization" only covers a common case. In future, proper code
which does the same thing as memcpy() does but backwards can be done.

The generic memset is defined as a byte at time write. This is always
safe, but it's slower than a 4 byte or even 8 byte write.
Write a generic memset which fills the data one byte at time until the
destination is aligned, then fills using the largest size allowed, and
finally fills the remaining data one byte at time.
On a RISC-V machine the speed goes from 140 Mb/s to 241 Mb/s, and this the
binary size increase according to bloat-o-meter:
Function old new delta
memset 32 148 +116
