Some early Intel Haswell CPU have AVX2 instructions, but do not have
BMI2 instructions. Some AVX2 string functions only check for AVX2, but
use BMI2 or LZCNT instructions. This patchset tries to fix that.

While most fixes only change ifunc-impl-list.c, and thus only concerns
the testsuite, the strn(case)cmp is a real issue affecting early Intel
Haswell CPU, reported to affect Debian Sid and Fedora Rawhide.

On the other hand, the check for LZCNT in memrchr is purely for
correctness, I am not aware of a CPU implementing AVX2 without LZCNT.

This has been tested by remplacing all BMI2 and LZCNT instruction in the
source code by the "ud2" instruction and disabling the BMI1, BMI2
feature detection, and running the testsuite.

Resolves: BZ #29611
