[Powerpc] Tune/optimize powerpc{32,64}/power7/memchr.S.
Assorted tweaking, twisting and tuning to squeeze a few additional cycles out of the memchr code. Changes include bypassing the shift pairs (sld,srd) when they are not required, and unrolling the small_loop that handles short and trailing strings. Per scrollpipe data measuring aligned strings for 64-bit, these changes save between five and eight cycles (9-13% overall) for short strings (<32), Longer aligned strings see slight improvement of 1-3% due to bypassing the shifts and the instruction rearranging.
