PowerPC: strncpy/stpncpy optimization for PPC64/POWER7
The optimization is achieved by following techniques: > data alignment [gain from aligned memory access on read/write] > POWER7 gains performance with loop unrolling/unwinding [gain by reduction of branch penalty]. > zero padding done by calling optimized memset
