There is no guarantee on the signedness of char.  It can be either
signed or unsigned.  On ARM it is unsigned and hence this memcmp()
implementation works as intended.

On other machines, char can be signed (x86 for example).  In that case
(and assuming a 2's complement implementation), interpreting a
bit-pattern of 0xFF as signed char can yield -1.  If *s1 is 0 and *s2
is 255 then the difference *s1 - *s2 should be negative.  The C
integer promotion rules guarantee that the unsigned chars will be
converted to int before the operation takes place.  The current
implementation will return a positive value (0 - (-1)) instead, which
is wrong.

Fix it by changing the signedness to unsigned to avoid surprises for
anyone using this code on non-ARM systems.

memmove needs to allow for overlapping memory regions and, together
with memcpy, should return the input destination pointer, not the
address after the end of the copied data.

- This change is split into two separate patches in order to
  simplify the history as interpreted by 'git'. The split is
  between the move/rename and addition of new files.
- Remove dependency on toolchain C library headers and functions in
  order to ensure behavioural compatibility between toolchains.
- Use FreeBSD as reference for C library implementation.
- Do not let GCC use default library include paths.
- Remove unused definitions in modified headers and implementations.
- Move C library files to 'lib/stdlib' and 'include/stdlib'.
- Break std.c functions out into separate files.
