The Sparse static analyzer emits this warning:
symbol 'strchr' was not declared. Should it be static?
This patch adds the appropriate extern declaration to string.h
to fix the warning.

Add the missing declarations of basic string functions to string.h to allow
a clean build.

Try to treat memcmp() in same way as memcpy() and memset(). Provide a
declaration in boot/string.h and by default user gets a memcmp() which
maps to builtin function.
Move optimized definition of memcmp() in boot/string.c. Now a user can
do #undef memcmp and link against string.c to use optimzied memcmp().
It also simplifies boot/compressed/string.c where we had to redefine
memcmp(). That extra definition is gone now.

Create a separate arch/x86/boot/string.h file to provide declaration of
some of the common string functions.
By default memcpy, memset and memcmp functions will default to gcc
builtin functions. If code wants to use an optimized version of any
of these functions, they need to #undef the respective macro and link
against a local file providing definition of undefed function.
For example, arch/x86/boot/* code links against copy.S to get memcpy()
and memcmp() definitions. arch/86/boot/compressed/* links against
compressed/string.c.
There are quite a few places in arch/x86/ where these functions are
used. Idea is to try to consilidate their declaration and possibly
definitions so that it can be reused.
I am planning to reuse boot/string.h in arch/x86/purgatory/ and use
gcc builtin functions for memcpy, memset and memcmp.
