string: Provide a slimmed-down memset()

Most of the time the optimised memset() is what we want. For extreme
situations such as TPL it may be too large. For example on the 'rock'
board, using a simple loop saves a useful 48 bytes. With gcc 4.9 and
the rodata bug, this patch is enough to reduce the TPL image below the
limit.

The faster memset() is the arch-specific one (if available) enabled
by CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET. If that is not enabled, we can still get
better performance by writing a word at a time. But in very
size-constrained envrionments even this may be too big. Enable this
option to reduce code size slightly at the cost of some speed.
