Currently our memset() implementation is safe, but slow. The main reason
for that seems to be the single byte writes that it issues, which can
show horrible performance, depending on the implementation of the
load/store subsystem.

Improve the algorithm by trying to issue 64-bit writes. As this only
works with aligned pointers, have a head and a tail section which
covers unaligned pointers, and leave the bulk of the work to the middle
section that does use 64-bit writes.

Put through some unit tests, which exercise all combinations of nasty
input parameters (pointers with various alignments, various odd and even
sizes, corner cases of content to write (-1, 256)).

This reverts commit e7d344de.
 This reverts the patch https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/5313 due to a timing issue with the merge.  The merge occurred at the same time as the additional comments and thusly were were not seen until the merge was done.  This reverts the change and additional patches from Alexei will follow to address the concerns expressed in the orignal patch.

Improved support for W=1 compilation flag by solving missing-prototypes
and old-style-definition warnings.

The libraries are compiling with warnings (which turn into errors with
the Werror flag).

Outside of libraries, some warnings cannot be fixed without heavy
structural changes.
