x86-64: Remove Prefer_AVX2_STRCMP
Remove Prefer_AVX2_STRCMP to enable EVEX strcmp. When comparing 2 32-byte
strings, EVEX strcmp has been improved to require 1 load, 1 VPTESTM, 1
VPCMP, 1 KMOVD and 1 INCL instead of 2 loads, 3 VPCMPs, 2 KORDs, 1 KMOVD
and 1 TESTL while AVX2 strcmp requires 1 load, 2 VPCMPEQs, 1 VPMINU, 1
VPMOVMSKB and 1 TESTL. EVEX strcmp is now faster than AVX2 strcmp by up
to 40% on Tiger Lake and Ice Lake.
