Modified Files:
        src/common/lib/libc/arch/x86_64/string: strchr.S

Log Message:
Replace with a version that:
1) doesn't do byte compares to find which byte matched
2) doesn't do byte compares if any top bits are set
3) doesn't use a loop when the input is misaligned
4) has less mispredicted branches
Passes regression tests and 'build.sh' doesn't explode (and more than usual).
