Summary:
This patch adds a benchmarking infrastructure for llvm-libc memory functions.
In a nutshell, the code can benchmark small and large buffers for the memcpy, memset and memcmp functions.
It also produces graphs of size vs latency by running targets of the form `render-libc-{memcpy|memset|memcmp}-benchmark-{small|big}`.
The configurations are provided as JSON files and the benchmark also produces a JSON file.
This file is then parsed and rendered as a PNG file via the `render.py` script (make sure to run `pip3 install matplotlib scipy numpy`).
The script can take several JSON files as input and will superimpose the curves if they are from the same host.
TODO:
- The code benchmarks whatever is available on the host but should be configured to benchmark the -to be added- llvm-libc memory functions.
- Add a README file with instructions and rationale.
- Produce scores to track the performance of the functions over time to allow for regression detection.

Header files included wrongly using <...> are now included using the
internal path names as the new unittest framework allows us to do so.

Summary:
Now that tests live in separate top-level directory, keeping the
implementations of individual functions in a directory of their own is
not meaningful. Hence, this change moves them into the higher level
string directory.
NFC intended.

Summary:
Some syscalls like SYS_clone do not tolerate a return instruction after
the syscall instruction. Marking the syscall functions with the
`always_inline` attribute accommodates such syscalls as inlining
eliminates the return instruction.

A toplevel target, `check-libc` has also been added.

Summary:
A set of of linux x86_64 internal syscall helpers have also been added.
This change does not try to be perfect with respect to OS and machine
abstractions. A TODO note has been added at places where such abstractions
would help and make the arrangement scalable and cleaner. Addressing the
TODOs and building such abstractions is not in the scope of this change.
It is hoped that follow up changes cleaning up the problem areas and
addressing the TODOs will better illustrate the need for the changes.
This change also does not try to imitate mmap and munmap implementations
of other libcs. The idea here is to put in the bare minimum required to
obtain a working mmap and munmap, and then add the rest of the
functionality on an as needed basis.

Setup demonstrated in this patch is only for ELF-ish platforms.
Also note:
1. Use of redirectors is a temporary scheme. They will be removed once
LLVM-libc has implementations for the redirected functions.
2. Redirectors are optional. One can choose to not include them in the
LLVM-libc build for their platform.
3. Even with redirectors used, we want to link to the system libc
dynamically.

Summary:
This patch illustrates some of the features like modularity we want
in the new libc. Few other ideas like different kinds of testing, redirectors
etc are not yet present.
